Envelope stamped "U.S.S. FEB 24 A.M. 1927 TEXAS" with red Washington stamp. Addressed to Miss Florence StokleyContext
Battleship Texas had an extensive shakedown cruise from November 23, 1926, to September 1, 1927. She had a brief period in dry dock during June and August 1927 before her speed trials.
Battleship Texas had her own post office. All mail passed through a censor before leaving the ship. Once the package is checked, it was stamped with a “U.S.S. TEXAS” stamp. If in a port, mail could carry the markers of the post office on shore.Collection
