Tom Scott, The Older One
There are a number of reasons why I was attracted to and have been a volunteer on board Battleship Texas for the last 25 years. Among them is her unique place in history as the world’s last dreadnought style battleship, her history as the last surviving U.S. warship that participated in both World Wars, her contribution to some of the most important naval landings in World War II and her wide variety of equipment and systems that exist nowhere else. As an unabashed mechanical geek, I have been driven to perform deep dive studies of things as large as her huge 14” guns and as small as a single pull handle hanging from an overhead.
To that end, I have produced a number of videos that describe why and how the systems on the world’s last dreadnought battleship were designed and operated. It’s my hope that they will attract casual visitors who will at least appreciate the ship’s history and complexity, and also satisfy the needs of serious students of these incredible ships.
