In the Beginning In the 1800’s, Galveston Island was one of the largest cities in Texas. and hosted a plethora of firsts: post office (1836), naval base (1836), a cotton compress (1842), a Catholic parochial school (Ursuline Academy, 1847), an insurance company (1854), and even gas lights (1856). It’s bustling commerce and waves of immigration made this port city a powerhouse, providing the rest of Texas with variety of commodities. Like many large ports at the time, Galveston was in need of equipment to aid mariners who encountered problems. A national organization based on the east coast, called the United States Life-Saving Service, was created in response to humanitarian efforts to save the lives of shipwrecked mariners. This government agency gave Galveston a “Francis Lifeboat” to the Galveston Port to employ in cases of vessels in distress. 48 The BLUES POLICE MAGAZINE The BLUES POLICE MAGAZINE 49
