About this event

Port of Houston Partners in Maritime Education cordially invite you to join us for our annual Educators' Boat Tour as we explore the Houston Ship and learn more about Port Houston and the maritime industry.

This special, one of a kind waterborne voyage provides a unique and educational introduction to one of the busiest and most diverse ports in the world.

Embarking from Port Houston’s Sam Houston Landing, aboard the M/V Sam Houston we will enjoy passing views of international cargo vessels and operations at the port’s Turning Basin Terminal.

We look forward to you joining us!
