Battleship Texas

This is a great visit, especially since it was restored to sailing quality a few years ago. The ship saw significant duty in both World Wars. Aside from its obvious value to naval history, there are also widespread references to its being haunted! It's adjacent to the San Jacinto Battleground (where Texas won its independence), is on the San Jacinto River near Galveston Bay, and has a very good seafood restaurant and historically significant, operating ferry close by. So, what's not to like! The ship and park are in a heavy industrial area. My complaint isn't simply that, but that the only road leading to the park from LaPorte is ugly even for an industrial area. I think the neighboring companies should be more sensitive to how important this area is to Texas history. A little landscaping would go a long way.
