The Rev. Sinclair Oubre, director of the Apostleship of the Sea ministry, hosted the 20th annual Maritime Day ceremony on May 22 at the Port of Port Arthur. As barge and tug traffic slid past in the background, dozens gathered at the Port of Port Arthur to remember those that make their living, and sometimes lose their lives, serving at sea.
Texans for Lawsuit Reform joined with Texas ports and the maritime industry, including every dredging company doing business in Texas, to applaud the passage of CSHB 1602, introduced by Rep. Corbin Van Arsdale, R-Houston.
