Description
The battleship USS Texas (BB35 - the last of the World War I "dreadnoughts") in Todd Shipyard's drydock at Galveston-1989. She was in for hull repairs and other renovations after being moored in Gulf Coast weather for 40 years at the San Jacinto Battlefield east of Houston. She went back to her berth in 1990.

Impressive. It's an amazing testimony to what man can accomplish. And a brilliant display of size from the angle you chose!

Thanks, friends. She's a grand lady, and if you are ever in East Texas, stop by and go aboard. It don't cost much and it helps keep her ship-shape. I'll post a pic of her in her berth tomorrow.

Great catch! I love this old tub! Been aboard her many times, but not in a long while. Glad to see her getting a facelift. Love the POV. Wondeful work!

Wow, I live in Galveston, and I never saw her here. I was either a Junior or Senior in Highschool.

Wow... Excellent shot of a historic vessel - I believe she served with the British Grand Fleet in the North Sea during WW1... she may be one of the last surviving WW1 Dreadnoughts. Thanks for this excellent image! SMM
