Close up of Battleship Texas's rudder early in the morning on September 1, 2022.

Note: the rudder is turned to 14 degrees to starboard. It has been stuck at this angle from years (1948 to 1988) of being in the mud at San Jacinto and numerous times her steering gear room being flooded. There are no current plans to repair it as other areas need more attention. The Battleship Texas Foundation Staff have said they will inspect it for possible removal or repairs during this drydocking.

The marine archaeologists at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde recovered it and it has been under investigation ever since. It seems to be from either the 17th century or the 18th century, because this rudder design could be assigned to two ship types - a Swedish hooker from the 18th century and a Dutch flyboat from the 17th century. Both were typical transport vessels for this period. Ultimately, only a more detailed examination and a dendrochornological study will be able to tell us more.
