Permanent Exhibits

The Texas Maritime Museum houses a variety of permanent exhibits that strive to tell a complete story of Texas' maritime history.  While the presentation may change and develop over time, the focus does not.

 

Exploration and Settlement is permanently told through the LaSalle Odyssey and an exhibit focusing on the development of maritime communities such as Indianola.  The Age of Steam exhibits one of the reasons these maritime communities developed.

 

Oil and Gas Exploration is a vital resource for the Texas Coast and Gulf waters.  The museum explores the technology used in the extraction of petroleum from waters several feet to several thousand feet deep.  The exhibit features an interactive kiosk and a scale model of Bullwinkle, the largest offshore drilling platform in history.
