1950's View of the Road to Captiva.
-
Abstract/Description
-
The road to Captiva was threatened by erosion as it ran at water's edge along the Gulf of Mexico. Erosional forces increased in the 1920s and in the late 1980s, beach renourishment was initiated to slow the problem. Many other potential remedies were tried, such as the "dog-leg" groins running perpendicular to the shore in this photo.

A cistern which collected rainwater from the roof can be seen beside the western quarters. A maintenance shed is beyond the western quarters, and the path to the boathouse/fishing pier is clearly visible. The submarine observation tower, used during World War II to search for enemy submarines, stands in the tidal zone on the island's Point Ybel, as erosion accelerated in the area during this period.
