When I was in sixth grade, they sent us across town to the Port of Houston magnet elementary school for a week to teach us the rudiments of international trade. It was a nice respite from the triple R's. By the time Friday rolled around, I hardly noticed the not-so-sweet smell of heavy industry anymore.
The week's highlight was taking a boat tour of the port aboard the Sam Houston. We even got free bottles of Coke.
Cool as that was, it can't possibly compare to this time-lapse footage from LouVest of a night run down the Houston Ship Channel to Galveston Bay (via MetaFilter).

I loved that trip down the channel. On my facebook I upload the newspaper they gave us. But I forgot they gave us a coke.
