"Texas' Forgotten Ports" includes a study of Corpus Christi and Aransas Bay, San Antonio Bay, and Matagorda Bay. In addition to Corpus Christi, ports still exist al Aransas Pass, Rockport, and Portland. Those that have passed into oblivion include El Capano, Aransas City, St. Mary's of Aransas, Lamar, Port Preston, Black Point, Sharpsburg, Mesquite Landing, Matagorda, Linnville, Cox's Point, Dimmitt's Landing, Lavaca, Indianola, Saluria, and several small river ports.
