    What does the "texas" mean in Ch11

    Hello all,
    I chapter 11 Huck is trying to convince Jim to land on the shipwrecked steam boat they are happening to drift upon at night in the middle of a storm. To convince Jim to land on it he referes to a "Texas" and a "Pilot-House". I thought perhaps the "texas" was referring to the name of the vessel, but that doesn't make much sense in the context of the wording. What is the "Texas" referring too?
    regards,
    Rick

    Texas is the largest suite of rooms on the boat

    The texas was where the the staterooms for the officers of the boat was located.
