Battleship Texas’ Future in Galveston
Under Review as Talks Resume

At a special meeting on Mon. Nov. 4th, the Galveston Wharves Board of Trustees appointed a three-member panel to engage in discussions with the Battleship Texas Foundation.

The USS Texas is set to remain in Galveston as a museum ship, but its exact location is under debate

The panel will "meet as necessary" to negotiate terms for keeping the historic USS Texas museum ship in Galveston. This step signals a renewed effort by both parties to reach an agreement on a permanent berth for the last surviving WWI-era American dreadnought.

Port Director Rodger Rees cited the proposed lease duration as a key issue: the trustees support a 10-year lease with renewal options, while the foundation prefers a 40- to 50-year term.

Port trustees and Galveston Mayor Craig Brown have stressed the urgency of finalizing the agreement. Additionally, relocating the ship from Pelican Island will require permits from various agencies. Despite these challenges, there is widespread support for keeping USS Texas in Galveston, where it could attract millions of visitors.
