The Battleship Texas

Pictures

Before we board, here's a shot of Brittney and Jeffrey off the starboard bow..

Just below and forward of Gun Turrey #1 there is a piece of equipment that I don't think was original issue..... a window air conditioner??

The kids in front of Gun Turret #1.

The kids between the big guns....

Here they are beside the BIG bullets.....

Inside Gun Turret #1.

Ready to load a main gun round.

Gun crew at the ready!!!

Brittney on the Ack-Ack.... "But Daddy, my feet won't reach the pedals...."

Jeffrey knows they'll be coming out of the sun.....

The San Jacinto Monument, Dead Ahead..... from above Gun Turrent #2.

Where are we now? Why, the BRIG, of course! this is the cell on the outside bulkhead. That is the hull on the left. There was no light in the cell, all illumination came from my flash.

The door to the Brig....

and when you open the door......

Climbing up out of the Engine Spaces....
