    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.

    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.

    The battleship Texas was decommissioned in 1948. It is moored near Houston and the Battle of San Jacinto monument and historic site. It is under the care of the Battleship Texas Foundation. battleshiptexas.org/
