Video of the Battleship USS Texas in Drydock

Here are two videos of the 110-year-old battleship USS Texas in drydock at the Gulf Copper Shipyard in Galveston.  The Texas is the oldest remaining dreadnought battleship and only one of six surviving ships to have served in both World War I and World War II.

The first video is a 25-minute walk around the drydock floor led by Travis Davis, Vice President of Ship Operations at Battleship Texas Foundation. Travis explains the features of the hull as well as areas to be repaired during the current $35 million refurbishment. The video is a unique opportunity to stroll around under the hull of a more than one-hundred-year-old dreadnought without donning a hard hat, and a boiler suit, and without getting your boots wet.

The second video is under 2 minutes of drone footage that captures the entire battleship on the drydock.
