The LST-325—the last fully operational WWII Landing Ship Tank (LST)—is open for tours seasonally throughout the year in her home port of Evansville, Indiana. She leaves port in the early fall to sail the nation’s inland rivers. Her crew of volunteers shares the history of these incredible vessels, the men and women who built them, and those who served on them.
Our primary concern is the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers, and staff members. Visitors are encouraged to wear masks, though they are not required at this time.
We will continue to monitor and assess the situation to determine if any further action is required. Updates will be shared via Facebook, Twitter, and our website. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Her story.
HISTORY OF THE LST-325 →
LST-325 was commissioned on February 1, 1943. She served in the European Theater and was part of the invasion forces at Sicily; Salerno, Italy; as well as Normandy, France for D-Day and beyond. There were 171 US LSTs during that operation. The LST-325 is the ONLY WWII-configured landing ship, tank still in operation. This historical ship relies on private donations and hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to function.
