ARROW HOME All the Coasts "The ship, this ship, our ship, the ship we serve, is the moral symbol of our life." Joseph Conrad This page has been on line continuously since 2002. |
This page is hosted as part of VASTHEAD.COM. “It is only when we are very happy, that we can bear to gaze merrily upon the vast and limitless expanse of water, rolling on and on with such persistent, irritating monotony, to the accompaniment of our thoughts, whether grave or gay. When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys.” —From The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy

This weather display is for the one half of all Americans who live near the coast and for everyone else who is curious about the coast. The Galveston Arrow also features weather, news, and tourist attractions
for its namesake, Galveston, Texas. Galveston was the site of the 1900
Storm, the worst single disaster to ever strike the United States. Galveston
is currently recovering from significant damage caused by the 2008 storm,
Hurricane Ike.
