Description

Second of Lawrence Gaddis's four photo albums

Context

Battleship Texas participated in various fleet maneuvers and exercises in the Atlantic Ocean (1919) and later Pacific Ocean from July 1919 through January 1924. Beginning in February 1923, maneuvers became known as Fleet Problems, which continued to 1939. Lawrence Gaddis collected many souvenirs during his travels around North and South America, as well as from events held on the ship or by the crew, and articles mentioning Battleship Texas in the papers. Many crew members kept photo albums that each have hundreds of photos chronicling their service onboard.
