    Probably taken between 27 March and 13 May, 1914, just before her deployment to Mexico for the Tampico Incident.

TEXAS U.S.N. (LOC)

    "USS Texas (BB-35) is a New York-class battleship, and the second ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the U.S. state of Texas. During her career Texas saw action in Mexican waters following the "Tampico Incident", and escorted Allied convoys across the Atlantic Ocean during World War I. When the United States formally entered World War II, Texas resumed her role of escorting war convoys across the Atlantic, and later shelled Axis-held beaches for the North African campaign and the Normandy Landings before being transferred to the Pacific Theater late in 1944 to provide naval gunfire support during the Battle of Iwo Jima and Battle of Okinawa." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Texas_(BB-35)

    The USS Texas remains retired, moored in Houston, Texas, adjacent to the San Jacinto Battlefield and Monument where Gen. Sam Houston and the Texas army defeated Mexican Gen. Santa Anna and his troops. This was 1836 and the cry was "Remember the Alamo". Mexican troops were caught napping, which gave the Texas soldier's the advantage. This was the Battle that won Texas Independence from Mexico and was the beginning of the Republic Of Texas. My ancestor's fought there that day and their names are engraved on the enterior of the Monument. The Battleship Texas and the San Jacinto Battlefield are open for visitors.

    This was taken sometime between keel laying on 17 April 1911 and her launching on 18 May 1912 at at Newport News, Virginia.

    According to NT of Jan 6, 1917 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E02EED71438EE32A... these two ships were based at the Navy shipyard in early 1917.
  • Pat Holscher said:
    This photo must have been before or after World War One, I'd guess, however, given that both ships are really illuminated, which I don't think they would have been during wartime.
