My hubby and I visited the Battleship Texas years ago...but I can’t for the life of me remember where it was moored at the time. It was a great tour.
I like to see things in their original condition, but know things have to be restored at some point I guess, or they fall apart. It does kind of take away the sense of the ones who were there before, though.

It was at the Houston ship canal area, right next to Battle of San Jacinto monument, the big concrete tower with a star on top.

I think it was 1972, and I couldn’t remember exactly where it was either. Thanks to other freepers for clearing that up. I was stationed in Del Rio then.

I went with my son’s scout troop for a spend the night on the battleship event about 15 years ago.
We got the grand tour, bow to stern, top to bottom.
The scouts slept in the crew berthing area on swing cots.

It was located next to the Houston Ship Channel, adjacent to the San Jacinto monument (the tallest in the world ⭐️).
