    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.

    >> 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.

    The ship was launched on 18 May 1912 and commissioned on 12 March 1914, On 24 March 1914, Texas departed Norfolk Navy Yard and set a course for New York City, making an overnight stop at Tompkinsville, New York on the night of 26 March. Entering New York Navy Yard on the next day, she spent the next three weeks there undergoing the installation of fire-control equipment. so this is her debut arrival in NYC.
