Took a long time compared to developed countries. Why wasn’t a dedicated shuttle road in between terminals was built inside the airport property, to avoid the age old travel through heavy traffic taking over an hour from terminal to terminal.

Cheer~~~a ship's allotted place at a wharf or dock.

That won't work in time the ship will calapse on her on weight the water has to be around her to equally apply pressure on the sides of the ship too hold it together

While this set up looks very cool I’m not sure how good it would be for the ship, as is now being seen battleships when kept on dry land have the tendency to inflate out on the sides as there is not enough pressure on the sides of the ship as there should be when the ship is in water. I know it would be hard to keep it in water but it should be the better option for the ship long term as long as it goes into dry dock to get fixed. I hope whoever is in charge of this project will consider the long term impact that this plan may have on the ship.

She needs to be out of the water. She proudly served our country. I would love to see her back where she was at, Texas San Jacinto battle ground.

I may be a dissenting vote on this issue, but knowing that there are coatings that have a 50+ year lifespan it makes me sad to see her dry birthed.

Seems easier to dig an absolute minimum size slip / inlet. install the ship, then wall that off. The ship would still be visible with a wall only a fraction of the size presented. If the slip was long enough, the entire opening could be filled with the earth from the dig. So no wall would be needed at all.

Shame this option failed!

faudrait foutre ce truc au recyclage ça ferait de la bonne ferraille pour faire autre chose d'utile plutôt que de gaspille des fortunes cette tat de ferraille de la mort et faire de la place pour la nature, c'est n'importe quoi🤬🤬🤬

An excellent idea. Preserving history of this nature is important.

And number tree the concrete blocks are Cedric and will over time will eat through the steel.

Battleship is build to with stand three pressure points 1. Gravity from the top. 2. Pressure from the water pressure on both sides. Over time if not in the water the ship will pancake and flatten.

Why not just raise her instead of leaving her below sea level??? All the have to do is build a ramp behind her, put a sled under her and pull her out!

As of July 1, 2022, the I-94 (Edsel Ford Freeway) between I-75 (Chrysler Freeway) and Conner Street is incomplete in Detroit’s east side. Burns Street, Fronteac Street, and Cadillac Avenue overpasses over I-94 will be finish by the end of this year. Other overpasses over I-94 on Detroit’s west side near Dearborn are inadequate, and they are: Addison Street, Lonyo Street, Central Street, and Cecil Street do need new overpasses, since the old ones are about 75 years old. However, they are working to put the new Grand River Avenue overpass over I-94 on Detroit’s west side.

So sort out already guys n gals, before its too late!

That pit might be appealing if there wasn't a ship in the middle of it, and being completely out of the water would have taken away from the battleship experience. The best part of the video was where they took it out and moored it parallel to the channel. If they had left it in that position, it would have been nice. I haven't been there, but I understand that the current location isn't ideal and the new location will probably be better.

I would love to see a new deck on that boat.

Maybe they meant to say the I-75 rehabilitation project

God help Iraq 🤲

Visited Saturday. She's getting moved to a dry dock which is undecided as of yet. And will no longer be in La Porte.

Ryan over at Battleship New Jersey had some interesting comments regarding keeping ships out of the water. (Made during his coffer-dam episode at the USS North Carolina.) Basically, it boils down to 'they're not buildings'. They are not designed for all their weight to be supported vertically on the keel and they will eventually 'bulge out' as the weight of the superstructure and upper fittings press down on the hull. They actually need the hydrostatic pressure of the water pressing in on the hull from outside to maintain their structure. By all means create the 'dry berth' as a means of maintaining the ship, but keep it flooded, except when you need to do work on the hull. Otherwise, your ship will eventually collapse in on itself.

Soon......

Rather than keel blocks I wonder if they could make her a concrete cradle which would support her at all points the same as if she was in water. Between the concrete and hull perhaps there could be some sort of water/air-tight padding that would keep her steel dry and prevent further rusting.

and displace 10s of THOUSAND of people WITHOUT their interests in mind. In other words...FUCK THE PEOPLE!!!

I really like this concept... I just hope the Texas conservancy can find the funding before her bottom falls out. Our state government keeps bragging about Texas having a surplus of money instead of debt... I'd like to see them offer up the funds to keep the ONLY remaining dreadnaught preserved for ALL Americans to enjoy...!!!

Is it still in the water?

Put a roof over it & it'll make maintaining it in the long-term far easier.

Looks like another missed opportunity to add an electrified rail rapid transit system in the median to move people to their destination without smog and even faster than driving. We do that here in Chicago, and it's done in Boston, too. The better your public transportation is, the more money your city makes and the more people who wish to stay. Sorry, rich and privileged politicians, but thinking only of yourselves hasn't worked and it never will! Just sayin'! 🐰

okay i ok

Time destroys all things. Boats were designed to be in the water. Take "Texas" out of the water, put her in a dry berth, and she will just collapse upon her own weight. Look at the problems the British are having trying to preserve the "HMS Victory."

Fix the Damn roads!

This is what the British has done with the HMS Victory. 🇬🇧

Hopefully, USS Olympia can been saved.

Okay, so the TPWD started on the USS Texas drydock project in 2010 .... That was a decade ago! Where does the battleship stand now? Still in water? Was the project abandoned?

They are antiquated technology that is no longer relevant. This ship should be scrapped and forgotten. Too much tax payer money has been wasted on projects just like this and considering the lack of funding thru donations I think it's obvious that there is not nearly enough interest to justify the expense. Sorry but not all relics can or deserve to be saved. They served there purpose. Make a reef out of this ship to benefit marine life and move on.

Beautiful work, thanks for showing the detail of the retaining wall.. it’s interesting👍🏼

Not sure what the deal is, but Google Maps shows the ship still in water and the tag says image is from 2020. www.google.com/maps/search/Battleship+Texas+/@29.7567439,-95.0899579,395m/data=!3m1!1e3

THE HULL IS ROTTEN. IT COULDNT STAND THE HUGE WEIGHT, MATE.

What if we make it ready for back in service?

As a native Texan it saddens me to see our flagship and a state icon wasted so

Putting the Battleship U.S.S. Texas in "Dry-Berth" is the only logical way of saving this historical ship. She has a lot of history and it shouldn't be lost to the Elements of Nature. It would also afford the opportunity to do some much needed repairs to bring her back to her former glory.

I am so thankful to have photos of it, taken from the top of the monument, that shows the wood decks. A shame it was not fully restored 😢

This looks really expensive

Interesting idea for display to enable visitors to see the enormity of a battleship, especially the one & only WWI left. Any ship/boat owner knows water ironically destroys water craft & they rust & corrode constantly. Maintenance must be ongoing to be effective. Non-ship example: the GoldenGate Bridge, constant maintenance crew on duty.
