Context

Battleship Texas had an extensive shakedown cruise from November 23, 1926, to September 1, 1927. She had a brief period in dry dock during June and August 1927 before her speed trials. 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.
