WWII Higgins Boat

The Higgins Boat, officially known as the LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel), was a vital vessel during World War II. Designed by Andrew Higgins, it played a key role in ...amphibious operations, especially during the D-Day landings in Normandy. With its innovative front ramp, the Higgins Boat enabled soldiers, vehicles, and equipment to land directly on beaches under fire. Its shallow draft and flat bottom made it perfect for beach landings, revolutionizing the way the Allies conducted warfare. General Eisenhower even credited the boat as one of the key factors in winning the war.
