Combat to Commerce
This exhibit features 14 museum-quality ship models and tells the story of the vital roles each has played in the history of Gulf and the world.
Offshore Platforms
Offshore oil/gas rigs utilize cutting-edge technology to drill into the floor of the Gulf at depths previously thought impossible. Visitors will discover the various types of offshore platforms that are used in the Gulf, as well as the underwater network of wellheads, pipelines and manifolds (as well as the service vessels) that provide necessary support.


Underwater Umbilical
In the center of Offshore Platforms, visitors will find a simulated cross-section of an underwater umbilical that houses on each end monitors with programs that showcase the processes used to manufacture umbilical and deliver it to the seafloor.
