The Battleship TEXAS is the last dreadnought in existence in the world.  She was launched on May 18th, 1912 -a veteran of Vera Cruz (1914) and both World Wars.  The USS TEXAS is currently berthed at San Jacinto State Historical Park near Houston Texas - where she is undergoing restoration and renewal to restore her to full active duty condition and status.

The battleship is open to the public year round and is a living museum of our maritime and naval history.
 
We hope you enjoy this tour, photos by Spike Mike - a FTV (First Texas Volunteer) who is actively involved in the restoration  project - scraping rust, painting, identifying, cataloging and preserving items aboard ship, scrambling up ladders to assist in dressing the ship - and pitching in on many ongoing projects aboard the USS Texas.
