110 Year-Old Texas Battleship Towed To Galveston For Repairs

The only U.S. ship to survive both World War I and World War II—known as USS Texas, BB-35, or simply Battleship Texas— was towed through Galveston harbor from the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site to Galveston Island on a trip which took 10 hours from start to finish. The operation was a complex and involved removing 2,000 gallons of water per minute from the hull of the ship as it was towed. The ship will have repairs done at its new location at an estimated cost of 35 million USD.
