Galveston Beach and Galveston Port (drive around Galveston Island)

MACBOOK RETINA (2016) 15”
Drive around Galveston Island on my first video of a Galveston Island Drive. Used my Gopro and filmed a trip around a good portion of Galveston Island including the sea drive on Seawall and along the port on Harborside, the opposite side of the island.
Galveston is an interesting place with colorful history and so much to see. Beautiful homes and corner stores from the early 1900's.
Galveston Island was considered uninhabitable by the indians. Pirates considered Galveston to be a dangerous place that would be safe to hide their treasure.
The military settled the island around 1817 with forts being destroyed every time a major hurricane came through as the island was low laying and had no protection from tidal surges.
Galveston was a popular slave trading destination as well as a growing military post that was disbanded because of the rapid spread of syphilis from the prostitutes in the Silk Stocking District.
Galveston County was formed and was a formidable port, delivering, buying, selling, exporting goods thru ships and train.
The Great Storm of 1900 destroyed 1/3 of Galveston Island killing over 6,000 people with a total population of 37,000. Many left Galveston Island and those who remained managed to raise the island by 8', 17' at the seawall mainly by pumping sand from the
Galveston Bay onto the island. The pictures from the 1900 storm and the reconstruction of the Island is very impressive and can be seen at the Galveston Historic Foundation.
Pier 21 Theatre is a must see if your in the area.

GALVESTON ISLAND, TEXAS | Family Vacation Travel Video | Sony A6500
The Trabert family vacation was a success! This video is of my family and I on vacation in Galveston, Texas. We had a blast! There was a lot of activities to do there such as visiting Moody Gardens, deep sea fishing, traveling to Houston to visit NASA's Johnson Space Station, checking out Pleasure Pier, and just relaxing with the family and enjoying our vacation. A wind surfer was nice enough to allow me to film him wind surfing while he was in front of our beach house - which was really cool. Overall, this was a fun and successful trip and I would recommend traveling to Galveston, Texas and enjoy their clean beaches and beautiful weather!
