It was on July 30, 1945 when a 78 foot
wooden boat emerged from the Higgins
Industries production plant, in New Orleans,
Louisiana and was assigned by the U.S.
Navy as the Motor Torpedo Boat PT658.
Every square inch of this wooden boat was
designed to take the war to the enemy, as
did many of her fierce sister boats before her.
PT 658 was Higgins latest MTB design prior
to the war. Our boat was re-engineered and
modified from earlier Higgins PT designs.
These modifications let PT’s to be known
as the most heavily armed boats pound for
pound in the US Navy.
PT 658 is the only surviving PT Boat that
has been authentically restored to as-built
condition by WW II PT Boat Veterans.
