Galveston Island to attempt Guinness World Record while honoring victims of 1900 ‘Great Storm’

A Guinness World Record title could be coming to Galveston Island.  The title for world record is for a rather... quirky... reason. “We’re attempting to get into the Guinness World Record Book for the longest walkway,” said Mary Beth Bassett, the public relations manager for Visit Galveston, the island’s tourism bureau.  Galveston could be home to the world’s longest continuous walkway.  The Galveston Seawall will be measured by adjudicators on Saturday, September 6 - just days before the 125th anniversary of the 1900 hurricane nicknamed ‘The Great Storm.’
