Grant To Help Build New Home For Landing Craft Used In Wwii

The money will be used to build a steel-framed metal shelter for one of the last remaining "Higgins" landing craft from World War II, said museum founder and executive director Warren Motts. The Motts landing craft is one of about 23,000 vehicles used to transport soldiers and equipment to beaches in Europe, Africa and the Pacific. "Higgins boats helped transport troops and equipment in World War II, and the Motts Military Museum's display will help educate new generations of Ohioans about the World War II era," he said.
