. DMS : Diagnostic Modeling System. Sedimentation and deposition; Channels (Hydraulic engineering). comer inlets is enhanced by the flows driven toward them by the strong winter winds out of the north and Figure 2. Pass Cavallo, January 1995 Pass Cavallo was one of the largest inlets on the Gulf Coast of the United States and was approximately miles wide when first visited by European explorers. The inlet was navigable to small ships, although the deepest channels shifted frequently and were interrupted by shoals. In 1686, the French explorer La SaUe lost one of three ships, his supply ship, in Pass Cavallo. Another of his ships, the Belle, was subsequently lost inside Matagorda Bay after it sUpped mooring and was driven into the shallows of Matagorda Peninsula by strong wind and high waves. The Belle was recently discovered in 12 ft of water (LaRoe 1997). Pass Cavallo remains treacherous to navigate. A commercial shrimp boat sunk along the southwestern margin of Pass Cavallo, off Matagorda Island (shown in Figure 3) is evidence of this. The stabUity, geomorphology, and the flood delta of Pass Cavallo were the subject of the thesis of Harwood (1973). She concluded that the massive flood delta of Pass Cavallo has received sediments through the pass during times of high surge and strong currents accompanying hurricanes, tropical storms, and the turning winds of northers. The flood delta extends approximately 3 miles from the pass to Port O'Conner and includes the islands and marshes that separate Matagorda Bay and Espiritu Santo Bay.
