Leaving San Antonio earlier than we had expected we found we had several hours before our next stop. While we could have kept going into Louisiana stopping at one of the many casinos we saw advertized we opted to head south into Galveston and Seawolf Park.

If you Google the park you'll learn the park sits at the end of the road overlooking the bay and Port of Galveston. There's a three-story pavilion in the park however it's surrounded by a fence with the building having seen much better days - years ago. While nice looking from a distance the closer you get the more scars you see. People don't go here for the nearly demolished pavilion. They come here to fish and watch the ships as they enter or leave the Port.

The other attractions include the chance visit two-WW II warships; the submarine Cavalla, and the destroyer escort, USS Stewart. It cost us $16.00 for the two-of us to enter the park an take the tour of the ships.
