The boat will be removed from the lake, restored and displayed at a museum in Nebraska.


Why not the National WW2 Museum in New Orleans? After all, the USS Monrovia was a Crescent City class attack transport ship.

Higgins was a resident of Columbus Nebraska and they have created a memorial to him.

Andrew Jackson Higgins National Memorial

Incidentally, I passed over the Platte river in Columbus yesterday. Columbus is approximately 950 miles from the source of the Platte in Wyoming and the river had not one drop of water in it's dry sand bed at that point.
