Texas Move Day

Galveston Island. Texas

The last of the dreadnoughts, Battleship Texas entering Galveston after a daylong, historic tow.
After over 70 years at its home at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site, the 110-year-old vessel Battleship Texas
was towed to the Gulf Coast Copper Yards for a $35M restoration that will take about two years.
See below - An Interesting short Video of the Texas after delivery to dry dock, later this evening.

Great shot of it! I am glad I got a shot of it when I did at its old location. After restoration, is it going back to where it was? ~BV~

a powerful image...this ship really means business...cool video too, revealing that a good start on restoration would be to scrape the scuzz from the hull..

Cool shot with nice detail. Like the time lapse video of the dry docking too! Interesting to see below the waterline. "V"

Another great shot of the ship. Hard to believe it's 110 years old, and good that it will be restored. V.
