Galveston, once the most important port city in Texas, suffered a crushing blow with the hurricane of 1900.

To design the wall and oversee its construction, Galveston recruited a team of the best engineers they could find, led by one of the most respected names in engineering at the time, Gen. Henry Martyn Robert.
