Vacation snapshots: Sea Wolf Park






This tiny little park is home to the USS CAVALLA (WWII Submarine) ; the USS STEWART (destroyer escort - one of only 3 in the world), a well-known fishing pier and a playground. The park was built on an immigration station site (the second largest in the country after Ellis Island!) and offers a great view of Galveston harbor.

We opted not to tour the sub or the ship, but enjoyed them from the outside. We watched many people fishing off the pier and watched many huge boats in the harbor. E was also delighted to see the ferries shuttling cars back and forth! The playground, of course, was very popular, too. A neat adventure!
