Great Galveston Hurricane

Station was totally destroyed, all property and effects belonging to station lost, except boats, but their whereabouts are unknown except that of lifeboat, which was saved but is badly stoved and is lying about a mile and a half back from the beach at Texas City.

In the Great Galveston Hurricane, Harry Claiborne demonstrated great devotion to duty. He manned the light in the worst sea and weather conditions and saved hundreds of storm victims.
