About

Get an inside look into the USS Cavalla and USS Stewart at the Galveston Naval Museum. Located in Seawolf Park, this highly-rated museum attracts thousands of visitors annually. The goals of the museum are to:

  • Preserve the historic integrity and authenticity of their ships
  • Remember and honor the generation who sacrificed so much for our enduring freedom
  • Educate all generations about American history, U.S. Navy heritage & innovation, and the courage of our military heroes and families.

Moreover, the board overseeing the museum fully consists of volunteers! This educational site is teeming with history, passion, and sacrifice.

This park is recognized as a national historic site and museum. The two fighting vessels available to explore were part of World War II. With the purchase of a ticket, you will be able to explore the inner workings of these ships. From the control room inside the ship to bunk beds and memorabilia - there is a lot to learn. Some areas you will explore include the engine compartments, officers quarters, forward torpedo bay, and more!

USS Cavalla

The USS Cavalla, also known as the "Lucky Lady" or "Seawolf", is an attack submarine. Commissioned on February 29, 1944, Cavalla spans 311 ft and 9 in x 27 ft and 3 in. She can fit a crew of up to 6 officers and 54 enlisted. A walk through the submarine will show you how the submariners ate, slept, and worked together. Cavalla officially arrived at Seawolf Park in 1971 - since then there have been strong efforts to preserve her. Every other decade, a full blown restoration effort occurs!

If you want a real interactive experience, check out the Group Sleepovers. For groups of 20 or more, you can reserve the ship! Additionally, there are occasional events held at Seawolf Park.
