Last remaining dreadnought battleship in the world. When British historians want to research the battle of Jutland they have to go to Texas.

Not sure about that...the USS Alabama is still right here in Mobile Bay...or is it not considered a ‘dreadnaught’?

Bruce Bramlett: Yeah, we are. You know, part of the reason is that the Houston Ship Channel is closing down for us tomorrow. And so we’re going to have a clear shot all the way to Galveston. But they would like for us to be out of the channel while it’s still daylight. So consequently, we will begin to move the ship between 5:30 and 6 a.m. tomorrow morning. Once underway, we expect she will arrive in Galveston along about 3 or 4 tomorrow afternoon.

The Houston Ship Channel is closing?!

That doesn't happen very often.
