New Orleans - US COAST GUARD HIGGINS BOAT
Summary
NEW ORLEANS, La. (June 12, 2004)--George Benedetto takes a newly-restored Higgins LCP(L) boat out for a test run June 12 in the Industrial Canal, New Orleans. Thousands of hours were spent restoring the Higgins boat to 85 percent of its original condition by a group of volunteers as part of a restoration project for the National D-day Museum in New Orleans. The boat's hull number (P10-21) was dedicated in memory of Coast Guard Signalman Douglas Munro who lost his life rescuing a battalion of Marines trapped by enemy Japanese forces at Point Cruz, Guadalcanal, Sept. 27, 1942.
