Historically, Galveston was home to pirates including Jean Lafitte. Tourists come to Galveston to play on the beach or bay, embark on cruises to Central and South America, or visit local attractions, particularly the Moody Gardens attractions. In a bygone era, the Balinese Room, over the Gulf, featured many of the nation's most famous musical artists and hosted illegal gambling.
