Galveston, Texas was a sea port and the gateway to the Southwest during the 19th Century. It is also the home for several historical ships, like the tall ship Ellisa (the official tall ship of Texas) at the Texas Seaport Museum, as shown in this postcard. This city was badly hurt by hurricane Ike in 2008. Thanks dreamingincode.
