was audio naration AI because it's so bad in timing

Just want to clear up one small point, when the pilot has docked a ship does he get picked up by a car?

Saw it in the Opera House for your premiere. Really good stuff!

Great video there JR! And, I saw your article in the Chronicle. Good job!

My grandfather immigrated fr Germany. through Galveston in the 1890's.

Excellent JR! We need a sequel with some real world conditions! 🌊⛈️❄️

The Master is always responsible and the Pilot is there only to "advise" Only exception is the Panama Canal

Amazing work and passion that you can see in every shot!!

My Italian great grandfather got denied entry at Ellis Island and was put on a ship back to Italy. This was due to the anti-Italian sentiment at the time. He found his way off that ship and stowed away on a freighter headed for Galveston. He was discovered, put to work and granted passage from New York to Texas.

Very informative and interesting as well. Thank you. We have similar here in the Chesapeake Bay.

Wow! This was fantastic.

Maybe you got the award for keeping the 'unbelievable' narrative going. Anyone that digs into the time period with a critical eye, knows that history is His Story and there is no way Clayton could be that industrious in that time period. Maybe you should dig past the narrative.

Awesome video!!….one thing to remember is a pilot’s job is to give navigational advise. The majority of the credit should be given to the ship’s crew & assisting tugs. Just for the record I am a harbor pilot.😎

Outstanding! It answered a lot of thing I've wondered about as far as pilots and ship movements. Thank you so much. It was obviously a labor of love and you hit it out of the park!

Will you also make a 15 minute version of this with just core info and not as much b-roll

Very well produced! So much knowledge!

Mr. Shaw, I could not make the event this past Saturday and was hoping that you would allow access at some point of the documentary so I could show it to my Pasadena ISD Maritime students. This will be awesome for our High School students, thank you so much for making it available.

Hey y’all! Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think of the most in depth project I’ve ever completed! (P.S. cruise ship pizza is delicious.)

God Bless those who work in ports & The Gulf of America 🇺🇸 😂

This is so cool and informative. I hadn't had a clue about most of this before watching. I can't wait to make my way back to Galveston to ship watch!

My Wife and I had a great time at the show J.R., thanks for saying hello. Take care.

What an incredible evening it was at the Grand Opera House for the premiere and the panel discussion.

AIRBORNE!!!

Love this!

This documentary should be shown to maritime administration majors at A&M Galveston if it isn’t already.

it's all the poop

My poor mail carrier is new here and asked me last week “who came up with this idea?? They should have hired a better committee!” Made me laugh.

I can’t believe I missed this! So disappointed. I live in Galveston and the story of these boats is epic. Will it be shown again??

Wow! What an exciting venture, thank you for making this masterpiece to show the public what life is like as a mariner in one of the busiest ports in the south! 👏🙏🫡

I am completely fascinated with the 1900 Storm. I’ve read many books on it, listened to podcasts, and watched videos. It’s sobering to see actual footage of the aftermath. Is there any content you’d recommend besides the mainstream books?

I wasn't aware of my fathers time at sea until after he died. i found cassette recordings that he made prior to his death. this recording is one in which he talks about how terrifying it was to be on a tanker leaving Port Arthur and being hunted by the German submarines. I asked my mom about it and she explained that my dad lost his mind after too many bad experiences at sea particularly the loss of friends on ships that were sunk by the Submarines. it was then that i began to understand his drunkenness and angry behavior. my family has served the USA at sea for 4 generations , my horror at sea wasnt from the Germans but by another US Navy ship I didn't know how to make the audio recording available so i made it as a youtube video. the first part is an introduction then his recording. ruclips.net/video/yHb-MWhXp78/видео.html

See you then! 👍

Thank you!! I have the beach patrol calendar from a few years ago and it's still hanging on my bedroom wall.

Fire proof room, yeah right is the original building it never burned down. And lost technology glass We know the truth.

Remember the Texas Navy!

BTW, that Robert's fellow also engineered RULES OF ORDER, parliamentary law.

1900 Storm, Galveston rises. After Harvey, TXDOT wants to put the freeways in downtown Houston UNDERGROUND!

I think it should be noted that if the Mexican Army would have lost to the French at Publa Mex., the Civil War would have been very different.

One of the cottonclads at the Battle of Galveston was named BAYOU CITY. So Houston had its nickname by the time of the Civil War.

The war of Northern Aggression is not over; look at how the Yankee administration in DC is handling the hurricane relief of the South, today. Enjoyed your video, thank you very much.

Awesome stuff! I need one of those tours…

This guy is clueless.

Starts with nonsense. Brownsville was targeted most.

You forgot to mention that Galveston was never successfully invaded nor was Texas as a whole.

Great video as always!

Your first picture 0:18 with all angles streets going to the center preplanned architecture designed founded with zero clue whats up with the building and 99.9% mia blueprints😢

I am so glad that I found this site. I am BOI (5th generation) and always interested in the history of the island. I do have 20+ 3-ring binders of photos and letters and documents that I have "inherited" after grandparents and parents passed. Some documents are saved at the Rosenberg Library also. I have often told people about the grade raising- I just brought 2 cousins from France to Galveston to show them where that side of my family settled. They were impressed. I have often wondered how the city smelled after all of that dredging was dumped under the buildings. ;) And I do have questions about the island's history from things I have found in the family documents - what was Denver on the west end? What were "the Gardens" on the ocean side of Broadway- I think that's where they were located ? Thanks for the great information!

I've been over all the old Causeways. In the late 50s, my grandpa was assistant police chief in HPD, and for some reason, we went over on the railroad Causeway. I think it was 1957. My grandfather was also on the raid on the Ballentine. You need to do a video about it.

Prior to living in Galveston, E.B. Nichols lived in Houston and built what today is known as the Nichols-Rice-Cherry house that was eventually moved to Sam Houston Park.

Great video, J.R.!
