The album photos date to the early to mid 1920s. Each photo had writing on the pages of the book, now discarded. The caption formerly on the page for this photo read,

The Washington Naval Treaty was signed in 1922, ending new battleship construction for ten years. As a result, Battleship Texas underwent significant modernization from July 31, 1925, to November 23, 1926.
Battleship Texas steamed, berthed, and operated alongside hundreds of ships from the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and other fleets across the globe throughout her time in commission from 1914 to 1948.
Many crew members kept photo albums that each have hundreds of photos chronicling their service onboard.
USS North Dakota (BB-29) was a Delaware-class battleship commissioned from April 11, 1910, to November 22, 1923. She was broken up in 1931.Collection
