■ The historical significance of the actual Higgins boat
Designed by Andrew Higgins, over 20,000 of these boats were built during World War II.
More than 5,000 ships took part in the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, many of which were Higgins boats.
General Eisenhower commented that "without Higgins' design, we would never have been able to land on the beach," and the boat was essential to the Allied victory.
The Higgins boat was made of plywood and was lightweight, but was not bulletproof, allowing it to be mass-produced and supporting Allied operations. This model also recreates the interior structure, which could carry small vehicles and up to 36 soldiers.
