April, 2024

We will book with Dusan and JJ everytime we are here in Galveston! Dusan was wonderful in communicating everything we needed to know prior to our trip. JJ met us at the dock, he had everything ready to go! He taught us everything we needed to know and how to navigate the waters…which were truly amazing! The boat was fabulous! We tubed, we wakeboarded and we had THE BEST TIME! Thanks to JJ and Dusan!!!🥰

Loved working with Dusan, he was very quick to respond to ever question. The weather was bad during our rental time but he worked with us on making sure we went out safely! 10/10 would recommend

This was a 10 out of 10 experience! Dusan and JJ Were very nice and accommodated us when we were running late without any issues. They were super friendly and the boat was awesome.

About Galveston

Why is Galveston a good sailing destination?

The allure of the Gulf of Mexico, with its vast azure expanse and sun-kissed shores, has beckoned sailors for centuries. Nestled on its edge is Galveston, Texas, a maritime gem that embodies the quintessential charm of the Gulf Coast. With Yachting.Rent as your nautical guide, delve into the reasons why Galveston stands as one of the most coveted sailing destinations, combining nature, history, and modern-day amenities in a nautical ballet of experiences.

Galveston’s geographical location gifts it a unique maritime identity. Sandwiched between the sprawling Galveston Bay and the majestic Gulf of Mexico, the city boasts diverse sailing environments, catering to both the novice sailor and the experienced mariner. As you set sail into the bay, calm waters greet you, offering a perfect setting for leisurely sailing, fishing, or simply anchoring to savor a Texan sunset. The bay is dotted with islands, marinas, and waterfront establishments, ensuring that every sailing expedition is peppered with discoveries, be it a secluded beach or a vibrant dockside eatery. For the more adventurous, the Gulf of Mexico awaits, presenting an expanse where the horizon stretches endlessly, and where the spirit of exploration is unbridled. Here, the possibility of spotting playful dolphins, majestic whales, or even engaging in deep-sea fishing amplifies the thrill of the voyage.

Yet, sailing in Galveston is not merely about navigating its waters; it’s about immersing in the city’s rich tapestry of history and culture. Galveston, with its storied past, resonates with maritime tales that span centuries. Historic harbors, lighthouses, and maritime museums dot the shoreline, each narrating tales of yesteryears. As you dock and explore, you’re transported back in time, walking through streets lined with Victorian architecture, or perhaps indulging in local seafood delicacies that carry the flavor of the Gulf. Yachting.Rent ensures that your journey integrates these elements, crafting an experience that’s as enriching on land as it is at sea.

Complementing the natural and historical charms is Galveston’s modern-day infrastructure tailored for sailors. State-of-the-art marinas equipped with contemporary amenities, skilled repair and maintenance facilities, and an array of waterfront accommodations ensure that every need of the modern-day sailor is catered to. Whether you’re looking for a short-term berth, require technical assistance, or simply wish to connect with fellow sailors, Galveston’s maritime community is both welcoming and well-equipped. With Yachting.Rent by your side, every logistical aspect, from chartering the perfect yacht to suggesting anchorages or curating land expeditions, is handled with expertise and passion.

In essence, Galveston isn’t just a sailing destination; it’s a nautical odyssey that promises a harmonious blend of nature, history, and luxury. With the Gulf’s whispers as its soundtrack and the Texan sun as its spotlight, Galveston invites sailors to a dance where every wave, every breeze, and every sunset becomes a stanza in a maritime poem. Yachting.Rent, with its commitment to curating unparalleled sailing experiences, is your compass, guiding you through Galveston’s nautical wonders, ensuring that each voyage becomes a cherished memory. Join us, and discover why Galveston, with its heart anchored in the Gulf, stands as a beacon for sailors worldwide.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Galveston

In the vibrant maritime realm of Galveston, Texas, where the Gulf of Mexico’s vastness meets the tranquil embrace of Galveston Bay, the decision of vessel selection can significantly shape your sailing experience. At Yachting.Rent, we understand the nuances of sailing and aim to provide our patrons with insights that ensure their nautical adventures are not just memorable but tailored perfectly to their vision. In the heart of this endeavor is the age-old question: to opt for a sailing boat or a catamaran when exploring the waters of Galveston?

The traditional sailing boat, with its single hull and iconic silhouette, is a symbol of classic maritime elegance. As you hoist its sails and catch the Gulf winds, the boat responds with an intimate connection to the water, offering a tactile feel of the waves and currents beneath. This close communion with the sea allows sailors to truly immerse in the rhythms of the ocean. For those seeking a more authentic and hands-on sailing experience, where the art of navigation and seamanship plays a pivotal role, sailing boats are the vessels of choice. Their sleek design allows for deft maneuvers, especially when navigating through Galveston’s myriad of islands, bays, and inlets. Additionally, the deep keel of these boats provides stability, making them ideal for ventures further into the Gulf, where waters can be more unpredictable.

On the other hand, catamarans, with their twin hulls and expansive decks, offer a different kind of maritime allure. Their design inherently provides more stability, significantly reducing the rolling motion commonly experienced on monohulls. This makes catamarans an excellent choice for those who prioritize comfort or are new to the world of sailing. The wide deck space is perfect for sunbathing, social gatherings, or simply relishing the panoramic vistas of the Texan coastline. The shallow draft of catamarans also presents an advantage when exploring Galveston’s coastal regions, allowing sailors to anchor closer to beaches or navigate shallower waters with ease. Additionally, catamarans often come equipped with modern amenities, ensuring that luxury and comfort are not compromised, even in the heart of the sea.

Given the contrasting attributes of both vessels, the choice truly hinges on the kind of maritime experience one seeks in Galveston. For the purists, who yearn for the age-old dance between wind, sail, and sea, the sailing boat is a canvas that allows them to paint their nautical tales. For those seeking a blend of adventure and relaxation, where the journey is as luxurious as the destinations explored, the catamaran stands as a floating oasis of opulence and comfort.

Rosenberg Treasure: Jack Johnson Cigarette Cards

Home > Blogs & News > History

Jack Johnson Cigarette Cards

Rosenberg treasure of the month.

Last Updated: June 18, 2024 by  Rosenberg Library | History

During the month of June, the Rosenberg Library is displaying newly acquired Jack Johnson Cigarette cards from around 1909/1910.

In honor of Juneteenth, our latest Treasure of the Month features one of the Rosenberg Library Museum’s newest acquisitions: a pair of cigarette cards featuring portraits of Jack Johnson, the first Black world heavyweight boxing champion.

  Juneteenth: A Galveston Tradition

On June 19, 1865 in Galveston, Union General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas and freeing all remaining enslaved people in the state. This event became the basis of an annual celebration of freedom and African-American culture, known as Juneteenth, and was officially declared a national holiday by President Biden in 2021.

Juneteenth has had a unique impact on Galveston both as a historical event and as a celebration of freedom and African-American culture. It created an environment in which Galveston institutions made advancements towards greater equality much earlier than many other cities in Texas. For example, the Rosenberg Library opened the Colored Branch of Rosenberg Library in 1905, and integrated the library in 1959, five years before any local public schools began to integrate in accordance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The fact that the library took initiative in making these moves reflects Galvestonians’ attitude regarding equality and inequality in the 20 th century.

Additionally, while the Emancipation Proclamation did not solve the problem of racial discrimination, it did allow formerly enslaved people to create new opportunities for themselves. The island has been home to countless talented Black individuals through the centuries, from politically well-known figures like Jessie McGuire Dent and Norris Wright Cuney, to notable athletes like Jack Johnson.

Jack Johnson: The Galveston Giant

Jack Johnson (1878-1946), nicknamed “The Galveston Giant,” was born in Galveston in 1878. He first learned to box when he traveled to Dallas and New York to find work as a young man. In 1898, Johnson returned to Galveston and made his professional debut by winning a match against Charley Brooks.

Johnson won the titles of World Colored Heavyweight Champion in 1903 and World Heavyweight Champion in 1908. He held the world championship title until 1915.

Johnson faced racist press throughout his career, but his defeat of Tommy Burns, a white man, for world heavyweight champion ignited extreme racial animosity. In 1910, former undefeated heavyweight champion James J. Jeffries came out of retirement to challenge Johnson. Johnson successfully defended his title in the “Fight of the Century,” knocking Jeffries down twice for the first time in his career. Race riots broke out after the fight in more than 25 states and 50 cities, killing at least twenty people and injuring hundreds more.

To learn more about Jack Johnson, visit our “Faces and Places of Galveston” exhibit, located on the 4 th floor of the Library in Trustees Hall.

Why Cigarette Cards?

From the 1870s to the 1940s, cigarette companies often included cardboard trading cards in their products to stiffen the packaging and advertise their brand. The cards were often printed as sets of 25-50 unique cards and featured a variety of subjects, such as popular actresses and models, athletes, military figures, animals, and much more. Collecting cigarette cards quickly became a popular hobby, until World War II when they stopped being printed due to rationing and the high cost of supplies.

The cards in our museum collection date from 1910 and are part of the “Champion Athlete and Prize Fighter Series,” issued by two American companies, Hassan Cigarettes and Mecca Cigarettes. Both cards in our collection have a full-color illustration of Jack Johnson on the front, and a short biography with information about his most important boxing matches through 1909 on the back. The “Fight of the Century” is not included in the list, which tells us the cards were printed sometime between October 16, 1909 and July 4, 1910.

The Library purchased these cards at auction as part of its ongoing efforts to preserve and display diverse stories within Galveston’s history. The fact that our island has kickstarted so many stories of incredible success, including Jack Johnson’s undefeated talent, reflects the true meaning and influence of Juneteenth in Galveston’s culture—having the opportunity to excel and be the best human you can be.

The Treasure of the Month is located on the library’s historic second floor near the East Entrance. It can be viewed during regular library hours, 9:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 9:00 a.m. – 8:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For more information, please contact Ivy Albright, Museum Curator at 409.763.8854 Ext. 125 or at [email protected] .
