I would suggest that you try the Galveston passenger arrival lists.

I continue to hit a brick wall, and am asking for your assistance. My Martz
family immigrated to Vanderburgh country from Alsace-Lorraine in ~1852. My
Stork (Storch, Storck) family immigrated to Vanderburgh county in ~1860 from
Bavaria. I cannot find immigration records nor the ship on which either
family arrived. In that time period, into what port did immigranats to
Indiana enter? Into New Orleans, and then up the Mississippi? into NY city?
To Canada? Philadelphia? Without their passage into the US and to Indiana, I
don't have the name of the town from which they immigrated, and my general
searches are not finding them. The Storks were cigar makers. The Martzes
made wagon wheels and carriages. Both families were also farmers. Please
give me a history lesson. Many thanks for your assistance.
