Higgins Industries, Inc., New Orleans, La., makes torpedo boats and other boats for the Navy (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Mr Flikker said:

  Higgins made the flat-bottom boats used by the Americans for the Normandy invasion. The D-Day Museum in NOLA has a big exhibit about them.

• Clyde Poole said:

  This appears to be one of the Higgins buildings on the Industrial Canal. The last of these buildings were torn down in the 60's.
