Seeing Our Country
Wednesday, May 04, 2005
Off of the main island of Galveston is the smaller Pelican Island. Pelican Island is home to Seawolf Park where the WW II sub USS Cavala rests and is being restored. Parking is $5 per car for the park and fishing pier. An additional fee of $5 per person to tour the sub and the destroyer, USS Stewart. A unique opportunity to see what it was like for the sailors of these earlier warships. Having served on more recent ships, I was amazed at the really tight spaces these sailors lived, worked and even died in. A worhtwhile monument that I recommend everyone visits and toss in a couple extra bucks to help the restoration project.
