    Visiting the Battleship Texas was one of my favorite things after it was retired and placed in Houston, Texas, next to the San Jacinto Monument. It is still there!

    Note the triple-gun turret. New York had two-gun turrets.

Spectators on TEXAS at MAINE exercises (LOC)

    NYT of May 29, 1916 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10E1EF83A5B1773... indicates an annual memorial parade of the type shown in these photographs. The report on the 1917 equivalent makes special mention of a moument to the Maine.
  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    >> special mention of a monument to the Maine. That would likely be the battleship MAINE Monument in Columbus Circle, NYC, unveiled on Memorial Day, 1913. The Library of Congress tag Maine Monument displays numerous views of that event.
