A one-of-a-kind World War II-era ship that helped turn the tide for the Allies will be moored and open for tours in three U.S. cities starting at the end of August.
The chance to board the USS LST 325, the last fully functional Landing Ship Tank remaining in the country, will appeal to history junkies and maritime buffs everywhere.

This year, the USS LST 325 will visit La Crosse, Wisconsin; Dubuque, Iowa; and Hannibal, Missouri over the course of a month.
