Hi Jim and Laraine, The WW II museum is well worth the visit, Linda and I went through it when we visited NOLA a couple decades ago and it tells quite a true story!

quoting from Wikipedia:

“The landing craft, vehicle, personnel (LCVP) or Higgins boat was a landing craft used extensively in amphibious landings in World War II. The craft was designed by Andrew Higgins based on boats made for operating in swamps and marshes. More than 23,358 were built, by Higgins Industries and licensees.[1]”

The museum occupies one of the factory buildings and even has a real LCVP that you can walk into by walking up the open ramp! Well worth a few hours.
