One of the densest concentrations of refineries are found in the Houston area. The oil companies are located along the Houston Ship Channel where it is more sheltered from bad weather that comes up from the Gulf. The construction of the refineries began during World War 1 and were expanded during World War II. Another large refinery is south of the city at Texas City.

If you are interested in seeing an up close view of the refineries etc, you can take a boat ride on the Sam Houston Inspection Ship for around 90 mins through the deep water channel. You can see all the large container ships, barges and tugs. Another good view is from the San Jacinto Battlefield on the other side of the channel.

Also, we took a three and five-year old and neither were interested--maybe if there was something to see (a crane loading, a boat moving), it might be different or maybe the tour is best for older kids. We went on a Saturday and nothing was going on. | bugalugs Wed Jun 27, 2007 21:48 UTC
