WWII Ship - USS LST - 325

We toured the LST (Landing Ship Tank) 325 about two weeks ago when she was moored in Ft. Madison, IA (on the Mississippi) as part of her annual tour. This gargantuan beauty was saved from the scrap yards in 2000 by a group of 50 Navy veterans who attempted to sail her from Greece back to the U.S. That mission was almost ended when the ship, already badly in need of repairs was caught in a life threatening storm on the ocean. The ship is now housed in Evansville, IN, but is also a floating museum that sails up tho six weeks per year (usually in August and September).
