Back in August, it was announced that the Battleship Texas (Hull BB35) was going to be moved from San Jacinto Battleground in La Porte TX to a dry dock in Galveston TX.

Once I heard the news, of course I had to take a day off work a drive all the way there to see her move. Had to wake up at 4AM trying to make it in time to see her go under the Fred Harman Bridge, but unfortunately she was going under the bridge while I was barely arriving into Houston.

Even though I had missed her going under the bridge, I had more than enough time to setup at Sea Wolf Park in Galveston to see her go by.

She was being towed by several tug boats and the whole journey took about 10 hrs from San Jacinto to the dry dock. I did get a pretty bad sunburn while waiting at the pier at Sea Wolf Park.

The Battleship Texas Foundation post regular updates on their website and YouTube page. There is no news regarding where she is going to be moved once dry dock work is done, I’m really hoping it stays in Houston but moving her next to USS Lexington in Corpus Christi wouldn’t be a bad idea either. (A family member jokingly said that they should move her to Lady Bird Lake in Austin lol).
