"Queen of the Waves" commemorates the song as it was sung by orphans and Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, Houston, Texas as the storm grew more intense. This CD also includes the telling of the story by one of the Sisters. Each year on the anniversary of the storm, the Sisters sing Queen of the Waves wherever they are in the world.

Galveston Stories, a video of stories which weaves the early history of Galveston Island with the founding of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, Houston, Texas. The majority of the program tells the tragedy of the Great 1900 Storm which killed 6,000 men, women and children in Galveston, including 10 Sisters and 90 children.

In this one-hour video, storyteller Linda Macdonald masterfully paints a verbal image of Galveston's proud heritage. Weaving in stories from her own Galveston ancestors, she presents a moving account of the city's history, especially the Great 1900 Storm. This presentation was originally produced by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, Houston, for all those who co-minister with them around the world. It was released to the public in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Great 1900 Storm.
