Event Description
In this talk, Amanda Carter, curator with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department at the Battleship TEXAS State Historic Site, will discuss how the Battleship TEXAS became the first battleship to be turned into a museum in the United States following the end of World War II, and the continued struggles of maintaining such a massive floating artifact. Commissioned in 1914, the Battleship TEXAS was at the forefront of military innovation throughout her service, and is the last remaining battleship that fought in both World War I and World War II.
