USS TEXAS Battleship: If all the financial details can be worked out, the USS TEXAS (BB-35) will likely have a new home in Galveston Harbor. Unlike the USS ALABAMA (BB-60) and the USS NORTH CAROLINA (BB-55) which are steam turbine powered, the USS TEXAS (BB-35) is powered by triple-expansion steam reciprocating engines.

The USS ALABAMA is on display at USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park, Mobile AL and the USS NORTH CAROLINA is on display at 1 Battleship Road, Wilmington, NC.

addendum to USS Battleship posting:

Gulf Shores, Alabama is the nearest (approx 51 miles) full service beach resort to the USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park, Mobile AL.

Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina is the nearest (approx 13 miles) full service beach resort to the USS NORTH CAROLINA 1 Battleship Row, Wilmington NC.

The Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation contracted Stoss Landscape Urbanism to provide a potential plan for a remade, pedestrian friendly waterfront in Galveston. The parking would be moved to garages that could also have greenspace or other pedestrian space (like the sand on the garage in the lower right of the photo). No action was taken but the wharves board may form a committee as this is a priority of the city.
