Happy Friday! Hope you have been keeping warm during this cold snap!
We love a
follow-up and an update, so Battleship Texas was in the news for an update on its
new home once its repairs and renovations are completed and it won’t be around
Pier 19 in Galveston. Looks like special
panel has a possible location!
Did anyone
happen to read Chron. Gulf Coast’s Newsletter on February 21, 2025, their
article titled, “Clear front-runner emerges for Battleship Texas’s new home”? In the article, it goes on the speak about
how the Galveston Wharves’ three-member Battleship Texas Ad Hoc Committee met
on Wednesday, and they have decided to recommend Pier 15 for the final resting
place for the Battleship Texas, after speaking with the U.S. Coast Guard, the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineering, and the Galveston-Texas City Pilots. They will be addressing the full Galveston Wharves
Board at their meeting March 4, 2025, with their recommendation for the USS
Texas aka Battleship Texas. We will keep
you apprised of anything else we hear. We
wish them much luck securing the Pier 15 location! If you would like to read more of the
