So, I've been on a Higgins PT Boat here in Clearlake. And

I hear
Higgins sea stories all the time.

When first assigned to a ship in the Navy, in boats

division, my first
boat was a rotting plywood & Oak Higgins LCM.

See it? It's abeam of the forward 300 ton crane, just aft

the 100 ton
traveler and motor whale boat, in front of the 42ft

liberty, in front
of the 72ft LCMVP. Thats before we got the new LMCVP's

with the AC
wheelhouses. We had another LCVP aft , and another LCM,

LCVP, LCMVP,
Liberty, and diver's boat, Captains Gig, and Admiral's

barge on the
Stbd side. I went to Amphibious Coxswain School and all

they had were
Higgens boats. I ran various Higgins, Elco's ect for 4

years.

But you watched a TV show, so now your an expert on

Higgins slang.

That Harvard pompass ass side of you shines bright BB.
