National Maritime Day Celebration | Port of Galveston 200th Anniversary Kickoff
Celebrate the Port of Galveston’s 200th anniversary with a special National Maritime Day presented by Wallenius Wilhelmsen and hosted by the Galveston Wharves. This free, family-friendly event celebrates the Port of Galveston’s 200th anniversary and honors the vital contributions of the maritime industry—including merchant mariners, ship crews, longshore workers, and more. Explore vessel tours, including a U.S. Coast Guard cutter, and browse maritime booths packed with history and hands-on learning. Don’t miss the commemorative ceremony at 10AM as we recognize the people who keep our port moving. 🚢⚓
