Itinerary
At the Galveston Naval Museum, you can step right into history while enjoying some of the best waterfront views in Galveston. Explore two real WWII vessels—the submarine USS Cavalla (SS-244), nicknamed the Lucky Lady, and the destroyer escort USS Stewart (DE-238), the Protector. You’ll walk the same decks sailors once did and get a hands-on feel for life at sea during wartime. Beyond these iconic ships, you’ll also see the sail of the USS Tautog (SSN-639) and the conning tower of the USS Carp (SS-338), both showcasing milestones in submarine technology and honoring the men who served beneath the waves. As you explore, take a moment to enjoy the sweeping views of Galveston Harbor—ships passing by, seabirds overhead, and the perfect backdrop for photos. Whether you’re a history buff, a family looking for a unique day out, or just someone who enjoys a great waterfront view, the museum offers a memorable experience you won’t find anywhere else.

About Galveston
Galveston is a Texas barrier-island city on the Gulf of Mexico, with Victorian streets, a long seawall beach and a cruise port.
Galveston is a barrier island city on the Gulf of Mexico, about eighty kilometres south-east of Houston, joined to the mainland by a causeway. In the late nineteenth century it was one of the wealthiest cities in Texas, and the Strand, a street of ornate iron-fronted commercial buildings, and the Victorian houses of the East End recall that period. The hurricane of 1900 killed thousands, and a long seawall and raised ground were built afterwards.
