Did you know that at over 10 miles long and rising 17 feet above sea level, the expansive Seawall is the longest continuous sidewalk in the US? The Great Storm of 1900 engulfed Galveston, leaving mass destruction in its wake. Construction of the Seawall began in September 1902, with the first segment completed in 1904. This year marks 125 years since the Great Storm of 1900, a defining moment that reshaped the island and inspired innovations in disaster preparedness. #LoveGalveston #GalvestonTexas #GalvestonSeawall #ThrowbackThursday
