Rig Museum

Tours are on the first movable offshore drilling rig "Mr. Charlie."  "Mr. Charlie" is the only authentic offshore drilling rig in the world available for the general public to tour.  "Mr. Charlie" is the only National Historic Landmark representing the offshore oil and gas industry. 

The guided tours are very informative and can last from 45 minutes to 3 hours (usually around 1 1/2 hours) depending on all the questions that are asked and answered.  The tour guides are knowledgable, informative, personable, and helpful.  They enjoy discussing the rig, the offshore oil and gas industry history and present, the surrounding area, and life itself. 

It will be the best guided tour you have ever taken.  Half of the tour is outside and half inside.  There are several sets of stairs to ascend and descend, the first deck of the rig is approximately 40 feet above the river surface.  Exhibits with the Diving and ROV Museum are included in the tour.  Also, pets are welcome on the tour.
