Neighborhood InfoLambert's PointFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaLambert's Point is a point of land on the south shore of the Elizabeth River near the downtown area of the independent city of Norfolkin the South Hampton Roads region of eastern Virginia, United States. It includes a large coal exporting facility, a residential area, and a golf course.
HistoryLambert's Point was named for Thomas Lambert, who patented 100 acres (400,000 m²) there on the east side of the bay of the Elizabeth River on June 1, 1635, when the territory was still a part of Elizabeth River Shire in colonial Virginia. Lambert was an ensign in the Lower Norfolk County Militia by 1640 and was later a major in the same outfit. He was later a member of the Assembly atJamestown for Lower Norfolk County in 1652, and by the time of his death in 1671 he was the proud bearer of the title Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Lambert. Lambert's Point was located inNorfolk County when that county was formed from Lower Norfolk County in 1691.
Norfolk Southern - Pier 6Lamberts Point is the home of Norfolk Southern's Pier 6, the largest and fastest coal exporting facility in the Northern Hemisphere. The facility's annual throughput capacity is rated at 48 million tons[1]. Unlike most facilities of its kind, Lamberts Point assembles all cargo in railcars and loads direct to vessel, rather than utilizing ground storage. The system is remarkably versatile due to its ability to blend individual lots up to five ways (a five-track blend), yet in increments as small as 100 tons. The 1850' pier has three berths, two for loading and a third which acts as a layberth, as well as two shiploaders. The facility can accommodate approximately 6,200 loaded railcars, and at full capacity, its dual twin rotary dumpers (capable of dumping up to four cars simultaneously) can dump at a daily rate of 1,200 cars. In 1886, the N&W tracks were extended directly to the new coal piers at Lamberts Point upon their completion. A residential section was also developed to house the families of the workers. Many early residents of Lambert's Point were involved in the coal industry. By 1900, Norfolk was the leading coal exporting port on the East Coast. The area including Lamberts Point was annexed by the City of Norfolk in 1911. [2] [edit]TodayToday, adjacent port facilities for merchandise are operated by Lamberts Point Docks, Inc., a subsidiary of N&W successor, Norfolk Southern, a Fortune 500 company which is headquartered in Norfolk. The United States Navy maintains the Lambert's Point Deperming Station, a magnetic silencing station located in the Elizabeth River off Lambert's Point. It is used by Navy ships to reduce their magnetic signature, making them less vulnerable to certain types of mines. [edit]References[edit]External links |
