Want To Be a Part of PT-305 Restoration?

[parallel]

The actual restoration work is all but done... but there is something else we can do to help make this a reality. The National WWII Museum needs to raise some funds to put her back in the water. Now is your chance to be a part of the only fully restored WWII Torpedo Patrol Boat. If you are able to, please go to the link below and back this project. Thanks.

There's also an event Friday night at the museum.

Drafts and crafts.

Will donors get a ride in it, or are we just paying so that others can have all the fun??

If you want a ride in a military boat, the Military Museum in Houma has a Korean War era Higgins boat that they give rides in. It stays in the water near the fire station launch.

I went in to make my pledge after Mrs. Parallel shot down my hopes of doing the "LT" ($1,000) or the "CDR" ($2,500). After my pledge this is what the total is now.

Thanks y'all. I'm confident that some of these pledges came from this forum. If you were leaning towards pledging by all means still do so. This is going to be an expensive operation to maintain and we're hoping to be able to honor other WWII Veterans as well.
