The battleship Texas is currently in dry dock in Galveston
undergoing extensive repairs. Upon complete of these repairs
sometime in '90, it will be towed back to the San Jacinto
Monument area south of Houston where it will re-open for
tours. I saw it recently from a small airplane I was flying
just north of Scholes Field - it looks kinda odd sitting up
out of the water with its rudder rust-stuck in a 10 degree
starboard turn position.
