LSTs and such
I remember reading somewhere about the recovery and voyage of that LST. What a dedicated effort. Speaking of Higgins boats, reminds me of a summer camp I went to as a kid, I guess around 1960, Pioneer Camp on Indian Bay in Lake of the Woods. It is reachable only by boat, so we went over on some sort of launch/fishing boat - I recall it had a sort of cuddy cabin, but I was told the old "landing craft" had recently been replaced, and its hulk was pointed out to me in a small back bay on back of the island. In my mind's eye, I see a Higgins-type boat. Do any other Canadians recall this Pioneer Camp boat and what it might have been?
