LST 325

The popular World War II ship- the USS LST-325- spends eleven months of the year docked in Evansville, Indiana. But, later this week, the ship will set sail to Owensboro, Kentucky.

The LST-325 will be offering free, self-guided tours June 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th

One of the biggest gripes people from Evansville have is that there's nothing to do. As a native myself, I've certainly said that a time or ten. Maybe it's because we're too "inside the box." Meaning we can't step back and see what our city has to offer because we're too close. We're here every day, so the attractions we have are just another part of the landscape, like any random house

From Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke's Office The LST 325 is headed back to Evansville after it's annual summer cruise. It departed from Chattanooga, TN earlier this week and expected to be back by Sunday afternoon.

Mayor Lloyd Winnecke will proclaim Monday, September 23, 2013, as “LST 325 Homecoming Day” in Evansville, and the barge where the Landing Ship Tank (LST) docks most of the year will be repainted this week in preparation for the return of Evansville’s warship from an annual fundraising cruise.

The LST 325 will depart from her Evansville home port at 8am on Monday, August 26th, for her annual “vacation” to visit other cities. The ship will travel to Charleston and Huntington, W.V. and Madison, IN during the next three weeks.

The LST 325 will set sail for Port Arthur, Texas at 10am on Monday, where the ship will be in dry dock for six weeks to undergo routine maintenance and repairs. The ship is scheduled to return to Evansville in about two months.
