Battleship Texas has been moved to Pier A for more revitalization!

Happy Tuesday! 

We love a follow-up and an update, so Battleship Texas was in the news for an update on its repairs and restoration. 

Did anyone happen to read Chron. Gulf Coast’s Newsletter on August 23, 2024, their article titled, “Battleship Texas move to new, temporary home in Galveston – The historic dreadnought is entering the next phase of its extensive repair and restoration.”?  In the article, it goes on the speak about how the Battleship Texas was being relocated to pier A at the Gulf Copper Dry Dock & Rig Repair for continuation of the work being done on it on August 22, 2024.   Battleship Texas has completed more than two years of repairs, and 700 tons of steel have been used, and more of its revitalization will happen on Pier A at a reduced daily rate until it’s finished.  According to the Battleship Texas Foundation they will be working on the wood deck now the steel deck has been repaired and painting the of ship.  The dreadnought is expected to be in its new home in late 2025 or early 2026.  If you would like to read more of the Chron. article, please click the link: Battleship Texas on the move in Galveston for more repairs (chron.com).

The Battleships Texas Foundation noted they will be allowing tours in the shipyard later this year, so please check their website for information on further details.  A wonderful project like the restoration of the Battleship Texas will need our help to be restored and taken care of for future generations of Americans, therefore check out their website by clicking the link: Battleship Texas Foundation.
