Proposed Extension of Seawall with Railroad access to same, Galveston, Texas

Details

IdentifierMaps_489aDate1914DescriptionThis plan shows Galveston Island east of Fourteenth Street. Work on the original seawall began in 1902 and ended in 1904 (see no. 466). In 1913, the corps reported that the original seawall route left the east end flats unprotected. A severe storm may cut a channel across the east end of the island and breach the jetty. By 1914, plans were underway to extend the seawall eastward from Sixth Street to Fort San Jacinto in the east end flats.
