Скачать или смотреть Galveston 1885: The Texas Port That Rivaled New York

Step back into Galveston in 1885, when this island city stood as the wealthiest place in Texas and one of the most prosperous ports in America. Long before the 1900 hurricane reshaped its fate, Galveston thrived with rail lines, deepwater docks, and grand architecture that earned it the title Wall Street of the South.

In this restored bird's eye view map, we follow the bustling wharves, elegant hotels like the Tremont House, and the thriving Strand district where bankers, merchants, and shipping magnates built fortunes that stretched across the Atlantic. Schooners filled the harbor, trains rolled from the mainland, and the city glowed with evening gaslights and ambition.

This film brings the map to life through history, storytelling, and immersive visuals, honoring a place that dared to dream big and refused to be defined by tragedy.
