Docked Oil Rigs

The Port of Galveston has a long history dating back to before Texas was part of the United States and is distinguished as being the oldest Gulf of Mexico shipping port west of New Orleans. The economy of the Port of Galveston depends on shipping, resorts, food processing and oil refining, serving the cargo, cruise and offshore oil and gas industries simultaneously. The Port also hosts a robust ship- and rig-repair business that includes a shipyard to service the offshore oil industry.
