This was a neat story for a History buff like me (and History major) to cover. The historic Battleship Texas was towed from La Porte (where it's been on display since 1948) to Galveston for much needed repairs in a dry dock. It's the only surviving ship of its kind to have served in both WWI and WWII. I was assigned to do a piece on the ship's history. Fortunately, a 100 year-old WWII veteran who actually served aboard the Texas from 1940 to 1942 showed up to see her off.
