Last D-Day landing craft makes final journey

[Still Waters]

The last surviving D-Day tank landing craft has been moved on to dry land following its final journey on water.

LCT 7074 was renovated with a National Heritage Lottery fund £4.7m grant ahead of its permanent display at the D-Day Story museum in Southsea.

It had been due to be delivered on the 76th anniversary of D-Day in June but this was delayed due to coronavirus.

The craft has travelled from Portsmouth Naval Base to Southsea ahead of being installed at the museum.

LCT 7074 was one of more than 800 specially designed landing craft vessels involved in the D-Day landings.

On D-day Royal Navy admiral Ramsey had no less then 6.939 ships and 195.000 sailors under his command, ranging from battleships to small landing crafts. It was a fantastic feat of organisation and during the earlier Dunkirk evacuation Ramsey had shown he was just the man to pull of something like this.
