You Can See 3 Historic Warships At This Floating Park In Galveston, Texas

If you're a naval history buff, Seawolf Park in Galveston deserves a top spot on your bucket list. This floating park is home to three warships, and two of them are open to the public for self-guided tours. Learn a little something, fish from the pier, and enjoy a relaxing day on the water.

If you've ever set sail on Galveston Bay, then you've probably seen Seawolf Park.

Located on Pelican Island, this unique destination is home to two historic warships. The ruins of a third are nearby, as well.

The two intact ships at the park are the USS Cavalla, a WWII submarine, and the USS Stewart, one of only three destroyer escorts in the world.

You'll also find the Galveston Naval Museum at Seawolf Park. The museum offers self-guided tours of the ships.

Open seven days a week, the museum provides educational fun for all ages.

There's so much to look at, and if the walls could talk, they would have some truly gripping stories to tell.

Seawolf Park also boasts one of Galveston's most popular fishing piers, plus picnic sites and a playground.

You could easily turn a trip here into an all-day event. It's also great if you're looking to putz around for just a few hours.

Northwest of the fishing pier are the remains of S. S. Selma, the largest concrete ship ever constructed.

She was an oil tanker build as a result of steel shortages during World War I, and is the only permanent shipwreck along the Houston Ship Channel.

The park is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Visitors can tour the ships from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. (last entry at 5 p.m.)

Visit the Seawolf Park website or Facebook page for more information, including current admission prices for the museum.
