Admiral Scott Powell: The Texas Navy Association & Preserving the Texas Navy

Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAztqlphMdETexian Navy Day 2024 https://www.texasnavy.org/event-5812705I sit down with the President of the Texas Navy Association, Scott Powell & discuss a few aspects to the Texas Navy Association. Scott is a commissioned Admiral in the Texas Navy, only made possible by the Governor of Texas. Today, the Texas Navy exists primarily as a symbol of historical pride and maritime heritage rather than a functioning military force. It is maintained and celebrated through the nonprofit organization The Texas Navy Association, which works to preserve its legacy and educate the public about the Navy's historical significance to Texas. Key efforts include organizing events like Texian Navy Day, supporting museums like the Texas Maritime Museum, and promoting historical preservation projects, including those involving notable vessels. These initiatives help keep the spirit of the Texas Navy alive and honor its contributions to Texas history.Subscribe to Galveston Unscripted on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts for more historical insights and stories from this remarkable island: https://www.galvestonunscripted.com/podcastsCheck out the podcast and audio tour that is transforming Galveston into the world's largest free museum! https://www.galvestonunscripted.com/Support the show!
