Pyrates Ride The Higgins Boat

Mr. C.J. took the Pyrates out for a ride in his WWII Higgins Boat (Landing Craft).

This is how they stormed the beaches in Normandy (with a lot more people in the boat).

Visit Mr. C.J. and the many artefacts and working machines at the Regional Military Museum in Houma, LA – just a pleasant hour drive south o’ New Orleans! http://regionalmilitarymuseum.com
