Sea Level Acceleration

Dave Burton has visited, and commented extensively on this post. He takes exception to the sea level data I used, and suggests that sea level has been rising at a steady, unchanging rate “since the late 1920s.” To quote him:

Neil, many locations have seen a little bit of acceleration “since the 1800s” — but not since the late 1920s.

Is that true? I’m skeptical.
