  • Chapter 1 Waterways: Overview
    The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) is a 1,300 mile man-made canal that runs along the Gulf of Mexico coastline from the southernmost tip of Texas at Brownsville to St. Marks, Florida. The GIWW was originally constructed to provide a connection between gulf ports. The impetus for creating such a link was the discovery of oil in East Texas as well as the growing need to transport steel and other manufacturing materials. Ultimately, the GIWW enabled the gulf ports to be linked with the entire country via the inland waterway system.
