Description

Bow of Texas filled with people. About to pass under bridge. Sticker on back says: "A view from the upper deck of the Battleship Texas as it was brought back to the San Jacinto Battlegrounds to a new permanent berth after extensive repairs. Former crewmen and vips were invited to ride on the short journey from dry dock to the new site on Thursday morning.

Context

Battleship Texas departed San Jacinto State Park for Todd Shipyard in Galveston where she had hull work in dry dock from December 13, 1988, to August 6, 1989, and then put back in water for additional work through February 23, 1990. She was moved to Green’s Bayou for decking and monopile instillation and returned to San Jacinto Battleground on July 28, 1990. The Battleship Texas Museum was operated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department from 1983 to 2020.
