In June, 1888,
Captain A. W. Wehrt established the ferry between Lake Charles and
Westlake, Louisiana and with the growth and development of the ferry
has increased proportionately, until today. It is absolutely
indispensable to the citizens of this section in their intercourse
between the two places.
The Steamer Hazel,
which is the largest boat upon Lake Charles, and Calcasieu River, is a
well-built double hull craft, 89 feet long, with a 37 foot beam, and
in addition to the two cabins and lower deck, has a beautiful and
spacious upper deck, which gives the traveler a commanding view of the
city, lake, river and surrounding territory.
The Hazel
is especially well-equipped for the transportation of heavy and package
freight as well as passengers, being operated upon a regular winter
and summer schedule on her trip of two and one-half miles across the
lake and return.
