THERE'S A NEW SHIP IN TOWN

We boarded the ferry about 8:20am today and in the mist across the way, we saw the huge new ship. 

     Launched: May 2011

Home Port: Galveston, TX;

Size: 1,004 feet in length; weighs 130,000 tons

Capacity: Carries 3,690 guests, 1,367 crew and staff

Special Features: Fun and fitness at SportSquare; SkyCourse, the first-ever ropes course at sea; Italian dining at Cucina del Capitano.

Here is a view of the ship from Harborside Drive. The cars look like toys against the "Magic"

 This is all you can see of the ship from the corner of 26th Street and The Strand.

It was the talk of the town yesterday and today.

 Folks came from far and wide.

From Harborside Drive, it was impossible to get the entire ship in the frame!



Galveston is the Magic's Home Port, so come and see it!
