LCT 7074 - The Last D-Day Landing Craft

The historic D-Day Landing Craft LCT 7074 has sat on the bottom of the East Float, Birkenhead for several years. Once owned by the now defunct Historic Warships Preservation group it has now been acquired by the The National Museum of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth, which received a £916,000 grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund to raise and move the vessel, which was later operated as the club ship LANDFALL in Liverpool Docks, to BAe Systems Naval Dockyard, Portsmouth, Hampshire, for restoration.
