Crowds gathered along the route as the ship made its way down the Houston Ship Channel to Galveston Bay, where it will undergo $35 million in repairs. “We’re at the point where if we don’t intervene and if we don’t do something, the ship’s days are over,” Bruce Bramlett, chief operating officer of the Battleship Texas Foundation, told FOX Houston. The momentous departure was broadcast live online and by television stations in the Lone Star State. “In her mission, she was the number one battleship weapon in the world,” Tony Gregory, president and CEO of the Battleship Texas Foundation, told the Houston Chronicle.

Accompanied by tugboats, the vessel made the 40-mile trip to Galveston, disrupting traffic at Port Houston, one of the largest US ports. Although the transfer was risky, it went better than we imagined. “We had a perfect launch,” Gregory told the Houston Chronicle. “If he was going to have a problem, it was going to be in the first 15 minutes.” Texas will remain in Galveston for renovations expected to take a year and a half. Tugs freed the more than 100-year-old ship in La Porte, Texas, before dawn. Commissioned in 1914 as the USS Texas, it was used to escort cargo to Europe and protect it from the Germans, according to the Houston newspaper. During World War II, Texas protected amphibious landings in North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific. The vessel was decommissioned in 1946 and donated to the state of Texas in 1948. It has since been converted into a museum.
