Bandaged battleship back in business
The 100-year-old Texas battleship has reopened to the public after emergency hull repairs but requires dry docking for full restoration. TPWD faces a projected $15 million shortfall of a $45 million project, with bond measures and Foundation offers aiding but not completing funding. Ship remains moored at San Jacinto Battleground since 1948 as engineers plan a permanent dry berth.
