Lavaca River Lafitte Pride Shipwreck — Edna

Lost Treasure TX • Jackson County County
Description
Lavaca River legend of Jean Lafitte's ship "The Pride" wrecking near the Navidad River confluence — a shallow-water hull reportedly visible in low water and tied to buried pirate loot in Jackson County.
Historical Notes
TreasureNet threads document Edna-area folklore of Lafitte's ship The Pride sinking in the Lavaca River system. Locals describe a hull once visible near where the Navidad meets the Lavaca, downstream toward Ward West and Mitchell ranches. A Confederate gunboat chased from Lavaca Bay also reportedly sank in the Navidad during the Civil War, blending pirate and wartime wreck lore. Jackson County historical markers note blockade-running along the coast. Coordinates mark the Lavaca–Navidad confluence near Edna northeast of Victoria. Private ranch access required.
