Pelican Island is a small island north of Galveston Harbor linked by a bridge to the City of Galveston. Today, the island is home to Texas A&M University at Galveston, the Galveston Naval Museum and Seawolf Park. In the past, Pelican Island was a location for fish and oyster business, an immigration station and ship yard. In 1965, Galveston businessman and philanthropist, George P.

Seawolf park is known as a great fishing location and houses the USS Cavalla and USS Stewart, which are available for tours from the Galveston Naval Museum.
