Itinerary
Built after the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 for protection from future hurricanes, The Galveston Seawall is a seawall in Galveston, Texas. Construction began in September 1902, and the initial segment was completed on July 29, 1904. From 1904 to 1963, the seawall was extended from 3.3 miles (5.3 km) to over 10 miles (16 km).
The tour briefly visits the Historical District where we will pass the Bishop’s Palace, once called the Gresham’s Castle.
Our guides will show you the much loved Elissa sailing vessel – the official Tall Ship of Texas.
The tour concludes at the Port of Galveston where we can usually observe a breathtaking sunset.

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.
