This ship is not exceptionally big, but to little boys it is amazing. A nice piece of history and never crowded.

“nice little piece of history”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2013

For history and war buffs this is a great attraction. Even though I am neither, I enjoyed the tour and hearing stories. We were there during a "work week" when volunteers from around the county were present which was neat. The ship does leave Evansville at times and goes to other ports so make sure you check the schedule. Very... More

A great tour learning a lot about WWII history and the heroic men who manned this ship. This ship might move to another city in a few years, so see it now!

“Evansville's Part of World War II manufacturing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2012

LSTs were made in Evansville right on that big bend of the Ohio River. My father worked there during WW II. This ship is a transport vehicle which played an amazing role in significant battles transporting troops, tanks, and other vehicles. It's a fascinating piece of history. Our tour guide was a veteran and very knowledgeable. The story of how... More

“labor of love”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2012

This historic ship was fun to explore. Our tour guide Bob, was wonderful and you could tell that his job was a labor of love. His stories were interesting and he really wanted us to understand the historic significance of this ship.

“Everyone..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2012

Everyone should see this ship and realize the magnitude of sailing it fully laden across the Atlantic or Pacific oceans.That took guts when you think just how not-so-big they really are.We owe it to that generation to see it and stand in thanks to them.
