Additional Details:
San Jacinto Battleground, Houston, Texas. This veteran of two World Wars now rests at permanent anchorage near the San Jacinto Monument, which marks the spot where Texas won its independence. The Battleship was presented to the State of Texas by the United States navy in the spring of 1948, and the people of Texas raised the funds necessary to bring her home and to construct the permanent slop where she now rests.
