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.
John Lamson was a MM1c on Battleship Texas from May 1917 to June 1919. Throughout his time on Texas, he sent a letter to his family at least once a week, often more. Longer stretches of absence are explained either by movement across the Atlantic, or with the Grand Fleet.Collection
