Port of Houston Tour
About this event
The M/V Sam Houston has been operating as Port Houston’s public tour vessel since July 30, 1958. The tour provides a 90-minute round-trip cruise along the Houston Ship Channel, giving passengers a close-up view of international cargo vessels, industrial operations, and historical sites along the port, including the location where General Sam Houston captured Santa Anna after the Battle of San Jacinto.
There is no charge to attend. The Port will provide us with box lunches, so please register so we can provide them with an accurate number.
IMPORTANT: Registration for the event must be completed and we must turn it in to the Port Houston by June 14th. No exceptions. Please let us know if you have to cancel.
Map to Port of Houston
Reminder to arrive at 10:30 to board at 10:45 am. Do NOT look up the address online. There are multiple tours and that will not get you to where you should be. There is ample parking but you may want to car pool if you need a navigator. Leticia has kindly listed her cell number if someone is really lost. If you are circling the San Jacinto Monument- you missed the turn.
