Context

Battleship Texas was flagship of the Training Detachment from June 27, 1937, to September 1, 1939. She made many Midshipman Cruises with students from the Naval Academy throughout this period. Ephriam Dickson was the executive director of Battleship Texas Foundation from June 1995 to February 1999. In addition to his duties, he conducted extensive research on and heavily collected items for the crew of Battleship Texas. He later donated his collection back to BTF. USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) was the lead ship of her class of battleship, and commissioned from June 12, 1916, to August 29, 1946. She was scuttled after Operation “Crossroads” on February 10, 1948.
