The Lamb Agency for Marine and Bonds, Inc. is headquartered in Galveston, Texas. The seaport in Galveston was founded in 1836. As the oldest port in Texas, the Galveston Seaport grew to become a center for world commerce. At one time the business district in Galveston was known as "The Wall Street of the Southwest".
Galveston was known internationally as the world's largest cotton port and retained that title into the 1970's when the economic advantage of intermodal transport to the East and West Coasts changed the face of cotton shipments.
The Galveston Seaport remains a port-of-call for cotton, wheat, fruit, heavy equipment and containerized general commodities. More recently, Galveston has developed into Texas' #1 cruise ship port. Geographically, the Port of Galveston is one of the most well protected and closest ports to international waters in the nation.
With anticipated growth and change through the 21st Century, Galveston and Lamb Agency for Marine and Bonds, Inc. are positioned to earn their place as small but effective players in the world of international trade.
