The "museum ship" is moored in the Houston Ship Channel near La Porte, Texas, and the San Jacinto Battlefield Monument and is the only surviving example of a dreadnought battleship.
You can learn more about this great ship here:
Wikipedia (here)
U. S. Navy - Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (here)
Battleship Texas Foundation - they are hosting a centennial celebration! (here)
Andy Hall at "Dead Confederates" has some great photos of the "bowels" of the ship (here)
As I lived north of Houston, I had the great pleasure of
visiting the ship at least three or four times over the past several
years and I happily share my photos of the ship as well as archival
photos.
Happy Birthday, USS Texas!
