If you walk on the stairs inside you can feel the grooves where they're worn down. My aunt used to be the caretaker of the estate before it was sold to be a museum.

Brown water explanation … and not mentioning all of the oil refineries and plastic manufacturers pollution is insane! Everyone on the gulf coast knows, do not get any of that water into open wounds or your mouth!

I do business in Galveston. It’s a dump. Same for Houston.

Everybody knows the real reason is because we dye it to keep people away.

Corpus does this, too.

Not WW I - No range.....mx Germ range 5000 technically maybe but return trip dodging ships- WWII YES several times... your pic of the sub @ 6:16 is a Germ. WW I sub- Not a WWII as you say. Uboats and submarines? Its the same sir @ 11:22 Great enthusiasm and letting common folk know these exists .the family watch them exercise volleys from 1912-1945 Keep it up but ya gotta get it right sir....

Another well produced presentation. Stimulates more exploration of the Island! A+

Mud pond. Lol

Even the water in Texas is dirty, what a state.

The water in the gulf has been "flushed" once too often...

Real locals don't swim in this shit

Maybe they should plant more grass in the Mississippi River and let it be a filter.

Great show! Thank you

When I was little I farted in Galveston and water turned brown.

Thank you for your podcasts. I love to learn more about Galveston. I grew up in La Marque, just north of Galveston, but now live in Colorado. Seeing your fun episodes helps me when I feel a bit homesick!

Galveston is gross. Brown water, red algae, and the jelly fish that you can’t see because of said brown water that sting like fire.

Growing up in East Texas I can’t believe I’ve never seen this home. We go to Galveston several times a year. Thank you for sharing this video. I really enjoyed it.

Ionic, not Doric.

Bro was mihawk

While in Vietnam….. I was in the brown water Navy 🇺🇸👋🏼🇺🇸

No thanks. California dose'nt have these problems. Poullition???

Great video! I hope there are more videos like this coming up.

It's Doo Doo baby

Poo poo

My first memory of the Scottish Rite Temple was about 62 or 63 years ago. My dad, a Master Mason, took me and my mom to a Christmas show they were putting on. I was only 4 or 5 at the time, but I do remember being in the theater/auditorium. I remember a magician performing, and found out much later he was a Mason named Overstreet. I ended up going to Ball High with one of his sons. After the show, we all went into the ball room for refreshments, and they passed out toys to the kids. I got a stamped metal stagecoach with horses that moved up and down when you ran it across the floor. It was a pretty special day for me to remember it all these years later. I attended several Rainbow Girl installations in the Egyptian room, and receptions for the new officers up in the ball room, where we mostly looked at each other from across the room instead of dancing. Years later, I received my Master Mason degree in the theater/auditorium, and attended meetings several times in the Egyptian room. I am glad to see that someone is taking care of the place, because I am not the only one with great memories of that building.

Good video. I find myself explain this concept often. *But*, we shoudln't ignore that the Mississippi is heavily poluted by agriculture, and Texas beaches often test positive for E. Coli. And occasional you find oil on the beach.

Back around '68 or '69, a few of my buddies took me out to the various forts you showed, but we didn't know the names for them. They were, in order from west to east, what we called the 1st fort, the 2nd fort and "Fort Point." Mostly it was an excuse for us to go out with our BB guns and stomp around in the "wild." We were all about 12 or 13 years old, and spent full days out in "the flats." BB gun "wars", catching rabbits, catching rattle snakes. Endless adventures! Great times! We would enter the flats from the driveway between apartments just east of Barracuda Ave. at the Ferry rd., and walk all day in the flats. We would most times end up at the end of the Seawall getting soft drinks and snacks at "Brown's" concession stand, then head back through the flats because, what fun is walking on the seawall? The last time I was out there was about 7 or so years ago, to scatter one of the guy's ashes where we had so much fun all those years ago.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOP[MENT ON THE WAY - THAT'S WHY - THE GREEN AGENDA

Is that same for corpus Christi I suppose all along there?

Love the history and the video except for the music in the background, annoying. Thanks for sharing!

I always had heard it's like that because of the Mississippi River. We need to figure a way to point all that stuff at Florida for a few hundred years!! ;)

Trashiest beaches in the us

Surprised you did not mention the disastrous Hurricane of 1900. The city never again was what it had become before, which was the greatest city in Texas. After 1920, and only partly because of Spindletop, Houston begin to be what it is today.

Ursa lean or Ursa line? Maybe we said it different in the San Antonio campus. 🤔

Go to the Texas coast after a late summer/ early fall cool front. The water might be amazingly clear.

Can we build something to make the water clear. Let's charge Houston for it

Having been born 30 miles South of Galveston , 65 years ago , I already knew this , but watched it anyway and this is why I vacation in Destin Fl. , so I can actually enjoy the Gulf of Mexico , we had a 50/50 chance on the Mississippi River and lost , oh well !

Is anyone else wondering about the difference between the architectural needs of a house in Maine versus ine in Galveston?

Why isn't it currently open to the public? There needs to be a greater variety of houses to visit.

ALL SECRET SOCIETIES ARE EVIL BY NATURE. The Freemasons are among the worst of the worst. They are a PLAGUE on this Nation. And should be OUTLAWED in Every country in the World.

I heard the water was definotely bluer when Europeans first arrived. It all makes sense.

I've never seen blue water from Galveston, Port Aransas or Corpus Christi. It's always been brown, muddy and gross. The last time we went, there were so many clumps of seagrass it felt like you were walking through a floating forest. A pretty beach, the gulf coast is not. Lol

I'm a little disappointed that a topic like immigration in Galveston didn't recognize the contributions of the thriving community of Jews. They built synagogues, the library, and the Shriners fund the world renowned burn hospital.

Charles Barkley *didn't* send me here it was just randomly in my recommends. Kinda baffles me that people asked this question. I'm originally from San Antonio and went to Port Aransas A LOT as a child. Normal gulf waters are brown/gray, and soon enough in school I learned it's cuz of the rivers dropping all that sediment. North of Galveston Island is Galveston Bay, which rivers empty into. Pete's sake lol. Yes it's technically "dirty" water cuz there's a bunch of literal dirt! ...and seaweed. Very itchy seaweed. Don't go in the waters at Corpus unless you're prepared to dodge all the jellyfish lol.

If for some reason we had nothing but blue water days from now on, would the islands eventually cease to exist?

Simple answer: DoDo 💩

This is the only beach i ever went to growing up and i never knew exactly why the water was brown, i assumed it was from factories/plants being nearby😅 and ive never seen it while it was blue or clear.

Freemasonry, the rottish smite that was placed upon the world!

houston is north of it and it runs downhill

Wonderful pacing, kept me engaged
