The Port Of Galveston

posted by admin on Jun 5

Crews from Aids to Navigation Teams Galveston and Port O’Connor load temporary buoys onto a 55-foot Coast Guard boat at Sector Field Office Galveston before getting underway. More than ninety percent of the aids to navigation were either damaged, destroyed or moved out of position in the Gulf of Mexico and the Houston Ship Channel during Hurricane IKE. The Coast Guard is repairing and repositioning buoys to reopen the ports and Ship Channel as quickly as possible. (Coast Guard video by PA3 Rob Simpson)
