The Galveston Grade Raising

[@MeadowDay]

All the amazing work these men did all those years ago…the skill, vision and determination to save their city. Awesome report.

It's just amazing how much they were able to do back then. This has become one of my favorite KZbin channels. I have visited Galveston 6 times (I'm from MN) and still haven't seen all that I want to see. Thank you for taking us exploring even more of the island. Your videos are wonderful!

[@galvestonunscripted]

Thank you for your kind comment and for watching all the way from MN!!!

Your presentation of the Galveston 1900 Storm is the best I’ve ever heard and watched. You do a remarkable work in Galveston Unscripted. Thank you.

Did not know about the Borden Oak. As always, JR, thank you sooo much for your gifts to The Island!

[@aaronschindewolf6659]

Great video! It's great how you were able to tie in some of your earlier videos into this one.

[@galvestonunscripted]

Yes! I am very happy to be able to pull from older videos to add more context and detail!

We are happy that the sea level hasn't risen since the seawall was built. Just look at the old photos and compare to today.

The one picture that I’ve seen over and over all my life was the raising of the Hotel Galvez

[@galvestonunscripted]

The Galvez was built in 1911, just after/during the grade raising. So, not quite raised, just built on top of the new grade!

Great video!

There are tons of these neglected mansions around the US owned by celebrities. Taylor Swift has one in Nashville. P Diddy has one in Woodlands Tx. Sylvester Stallone owns one in Maryland. Check it out.

ALSO, half a mile from along shoreline. We're better build NON CONTINUOUS SEA WAVE BREAKERS with LIFE SEA SHELLs, like oysters and clams, with zig zag placement to tame down beach erosion and clean the water

[@MeadowDay]

Good thought…could start a whole new industry there as well as protection.

[@galvestonunscripted]
