The Higgins landing craft, dubbed the “Ghost Boat,” was said to be used to transport soldiers to the shore during the war’s beach invasions.
The Higgins landing craft was said to be used to transport soldiers to the shore during the war’s beach invasions. Efforts are underway to restore a Word War II landing craft, which was discovered last year at the bottom of California’s largest reservoir.
"We did not expect to see a World War II transport boat in such good condition," Peter Schmidt, the forest’s archeologist, told FOX News. Bearing the numbers 31-17, this landing craft emerged from the lake due to California’s ongoing drought. The receding waters revealed the artifact and levels sunk low enough to excavate the craft fully.
"Some of the troops in here may not have made it back, so this may have been the last piece of U.S. territory they stood on," Dunsdon said.
