THE OUTER ISLAND, U S LCT 203 |
Pictured is US LCT (Landing Craft Tank) 203, now named The Outer Island. It is purported to be the last active WWII LCT, now used as a work vessel for dredging, etc. in the Bayfield area. Local legend says it took part in the Normandy D Day invasion. In 2007 a convention of LCT sailors came to Bayfield and cruised the Islands on it. It’s hard to get a good picture of it as it is always engaged in some activity that makes it difficult. Anway, it is a bit of world and local history
