Context

Battleship Texas had her keel laid at Newport News Shipbuilding on April 17, 1911, launched on May 18, 1912, and commissioned on March 12, 1914. Newspapers often wrote stories about Battleship Texas and her crew. While sometimes inaccurate or sensational, they showed the perceptions of the Homefront, and were collected by civilian and crew alike.
