History
Galveston grew into a 19th‑century Gulf port and was reshaped after the 1900 hurricane; Houston’s rise as a rail and oil hub turned its ports into modern shipping arteries.
Conservation
Coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and sensitive wetlands mean responsible travel reduces pressure on fragile shorelines; using shared, scheduled transfers helps cut vehicle trips and emissions.
