Army Staff Sgt. Jacob Klein, left, and Staff Sgt. Joel Ocasio arrive at the Battleship Texas to participate in a 2019 ceremony commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The ship is headed for a Galveston shipyard for restoration work.GALVESTON — Before the Battleship Texas can berth on Pelican Island for repairs, the company making those repairs must bring in a new dry dock. And to get the dry dock in place, the company must ensure the Galveston Ship Channel is deep enough.
“This was a very important step” to finally getting the ship to Galveston for repairs, said Craig Marston, general manager of Gulf Copper. The ship could be in the Galveston shipyard for as long as a year, officials said. The Battleship Texas Foundation, which operates the ship, hasn’t yet announced where the ship’s final destination would be after its restoration work is complete.
The dredging project will be done in cooperation with the Port of Galveston, which has approved a cost-sharing agreement with the company to complete the dredging project.
