Watch: Don’t
miss this chance to get a new perspective on Galveston Bay and the historic
Port of Galveston. Knowledgeably narrated tours explore the wide variety of
birds and marine life that teems in the Bay. (We have no contract with them,
but playful dolphins almost always show up to entertain themselves by
watching the red-and-white boat and its passengers.) And the human activity
in this busy port can only truly be appreciated from the water. A tour aboard
the Seagull II is always an hour well spent. |

Drilling Rig & Museum Visitors step on board, tour the completely
refurbished jackup drilling rig, absorb the day-to-day excitement of offshore
drilling and production, marine transportation, environmental protection,
construction, pipelining - all experienced through three decks of videos,
equipment exhibits and interactive displays. It's a museum, educational
attraction and working drilling rig all rolled into one. (Text courtesy of http://www.oceanstaroec.com/) |
