The “Beaumont No. 54” oil derrick was originally located in Tabbs Bay approximately three-quarters of a mile southeast of where it is now located. It represents hundreds of oil derricks that were erected beginning in the early 1900’s known as the Goose Creek Oilfield. It was relocated and erected in Bayland Park after Hurricane Alicia devasted the Gulf Coast on August 18, 1983
