Anyone know where this site it???

It's on North Shelton Beach Road(213) where it crosses Chickasaw Bayou(Chickasaw Creek now). Some spelled it Alvarez while other spelled it differently. Try Alvare's, Alvares, Alverez, etc. There are a few accounts of it here and there in some CW diaries as well as other accounts. The OR's of the CW has an account of it as well.

There was another ferry crossing on Chickasaw Bayou north of Mobile during the CW. It was Cleveland's. It was located where Ernest Dr. crosses Chickasaw Bayou. In the vacinity of North Craft Highway(Hwy 43). There was another name for this ferry as well, but right off hand I can't recall what it was.

Good luck and let me know if I might be able to help you fin other places.
