LCVP (LANDING CRAFT, VEHICLE, PERSONNEL)

The LCVP, commonly referred to as the "Higgins Boat," was the most famous landing craft designed and produced by Higgins Industries of New Orleans. These flat-bottomed boats included a wide ramp to quickly land soldiers, jeeps, and artillery on a beach.

Factoid: During the war over 12,000 LCVPs were produced for use in North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific.
