A visit to the battleship Texas is well-worth while. Everything is there, from the hammocks of the sailors to the sterling silver in the officers mess. Reserve for a hard hat tour that covers areas barred to the casual visitor.
The ship is anchored in Buffalo Bayou in San Jacinto Battleground Park adjacent to the Houston Ship Canal.

It is interesting to watch the ships in the Canal, which seem to be sailing through the fields. When I first visited, the green grassed fields were grazed by cattle, at the time many black Angus, but many of these fields are being swallowed by industrial expansion. The odors from the giant chemical plants are now omnipresent.
