Port Bicentennial Commemorative History Book Available Now
The Port of Galveston bicentennial history book is now available for purchase. The Galveston Wharves published the 140-page, hardcover book in partnership with Galveston Historical Foundation to commemorate the port’s 200th anniversary.
Filled with more than 200 rare historical images, the full-color, limited-edition book recounts the port’s 200 years of commerce from 1825 to 2025. It tells a tale of pirates, naval battles, riches, resilience and rebirth.
The book also spotlights 34 bicentennial sponsors who have all played important roles in the port’s growth – some as far back as the mid 1800s.
