Photographer: Jim Evans
Taken: July 19, 2000
Caption: 1900 Storm Memorial
Additional Description: The statue is in memory of the victims lost at sea during the Galveston hurricane of September 8, 1900. A "Place of Remembrance" to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the storm.

The 1900 storm virtually destroyed the City of Galveston. It caused the most deaths of any natural disaster in United States history, even up to today.

The 10-foot-tall bronze sculpture portrays a family - a father, mother and child - clinging together. One of the man's arms is reaching for the sky, and the other is around his wife. She is cradling their baby in her arms.
