The LCVP (landing craft, vehicle, personnel) was discovered in 2021 half-submerged in drought-stricken Shasta Lake in Northern California.
A Higgins Boat is displayed Tuesday during Seward's Fourth of July celebration. It had recently completed a days-long trip from California to Seward, where it was dedicated in a ceremony at the Nebraska National Guard Museum.
