Moving 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.
