Experience history like never before aboard PT-305! Built in New Orleans by Higgins Industries, the patrol-torpedo (PT) boat PT-305 was a critical asset for the US Navy during World War II, serving in European waters from 1944 to the end ofthe war. PT boats were a perfect naval expression of the American Spirit at war. Fast and maneuverable, patrol-torpedo boats were a unique and essential tool for US naval forces during World War II. PT-305, in bad repair and far from seaworthy, resided at Back Bay Boat Yard in Galveston, Texas, when she was acquired by The National WWII Museum. The decade that followed brought hundreds of volunteers, millions of dollars in monetary and in-kind donations, and dramatic changes to PT-305.Making her return to her home waters of Lake Pontchartrain, you can now see and feel the PT boat experience and learn about the service of the men who called them home with PT-305—the world's only fully restored combat-veteran PT boat in operation today!
