Historical Significance of the LCVP Higgins Boat

The LCVP Higgins Boat, designed by Andrew Higgins, was pivotal in WWII amphibious operations. Introduced in 1941, it carried 36 troops or 3.6 tons of cargo, reaching 12 knots. Consequently, it played a key role in D-Day (June 6, 1944) and battles like Guadalcanal and Normandy. Its plywood construction and flat-bottom design enabled landings on shallow shores. Armed with two machine guns, it offered light defense. This COBI set honors its legacy, recreating its vital role in Allied victories.
