EDITORS COMMENTS
Claudia Lyon of Texas, proudly standing in her elegant attire, served as the sponsor for the launching of the U.S.S. Texas on May 18, 1912. The U.S.S. Texas, a battleship built at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, was the second ship of the Texas class and the fourth U.S. Navy ship to bear the name. Claudia Lyon, the daughter of Colonel Cecil Lyon, a Republican national committeeman from Texas, gracefully holds a glass of champagne in her hand, symbolizing the traditional christening ritual. Her fashionable outfit, complete with a hat and a dress, reflects the elegance and sophistication of the event. The photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, captures a moment of pride and celebration as the U.S.S. Texas sets sail for the first time. The launching of the U.S.S. Texas marked an important milestone in American naval history, and Claudia Lyon's presence added a touch of Texas charm and tradition to the occasion. This black and white image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich history of naval transportation in the United States and the role of influential figures like Claudia Lyon in shaping it.
