This concrete ship, built in 1919, is the only permanent, and prominent, wreck along the Houston Ship Channel.
SS Selma was a concrete-hulled oil tanker built as part of the World War I Emergency Fleet, one of only twelve concrete ships that were completed for it. She barely saw service before being wrecked, and was scuttled a few years later. Now, Selma is the only permanent, and prominent, wreck along the Houston Ship Channel. She lies approximately one mile north of Galveston Island.

Housed in a retired oil platform. Interesting exhibit for someone unfamiliar with the drilling process.
