このコンテンツについて

A neglected marsh evolved into Galveston’s hidden engine, from a Civil War battery and a quarantine station for immigrants to a WWII shipyard hub and a maritime university that shapes ocean careers. We trace how silt, storms, and bold engineering turned two spits into a platform for ships, study, and memory.

• fragile marshlands
• early maps showing two separate spits
• Civil War fortifications guarding the channel
• post‑1900 hurricane dredging and grade raising
• quarantine and immigration through Pelican Island
• Seawolf Park and WWII naval vessels
• shipyards powering Galveston’s economy
• bridge access enabling growth and education
• Texas A&M Galveston and maritime training
• the island as habitat, history, and future

Visit the Galveston Naval Museum at Seawolf Park. Explore Texas A&M’s waterfront campus. Drive past the shipyards still humming with work.
