Texas in Dry-Dock

Galveston Island. Texas

The Battleship's hull has been looking nice and shiny after the first two months of restoration work. The entire project is expected to take another year.

Very cool perspective. Shows so well how much of the hull is beneath the water line. "V"

It's a great perspective; it really shows off the size of a type of ship that we will never see more of.

It's compared to what we consider large machinery that the enormous size of this battleship is clear. That's some photo, Lynn. V
