NICE VIDEO

From here in the States we say bravo for an excellent job! Thanks for sharing with the world!

The bar staff were in a cage to protect them ,interesting art work at the back of the bar was made from broken car windscreen glass covered in colored cellophane.

ALL GAVE SOME... SOME GAVE ALL... Those who came home And those who never made it home ...we will and should always remember them .......

I remember being in Folkestone back in 1967 when there were at least 2 LCI sinking into the mud just inside the harbour walls

A same name betty !!! Sounds like a very cool person

Where is this ship located? My father served on 2 of these ships in the Pacific during the war.

Interesting video. Just to say that the LCT-7074 is certainly worth a visit. The D-day Story museum itself I though was rather disappointing. I spoke to the staff about this and they would pass my comments on to the curator. The room of the D-day tapestry is very poorly illuminated. Texts and photo's under the tapestry were impossible to read and discern. Also capturing D-day in an embroidery was not really my cup of tea. That huge rotunda could have been put to much more interesting use. I was expecting far more high quality screens with great D-day landings footage in stead of it showing third rate actors pretending to prepare officers for the landings and an unreal G.I. explaining how cold he felt. Rather sad, pathetic and a missed opportunity. Also a great contrast with London's wonderful IWM Imperial War Museum, if you ask me. I doubt very much that young people will get a better understanding of WW-II and in particular D-day after visiting, which is a shame because my channel has 175,000 suybscribers and so far received in total more than 47 million views. On the basis of that my conclusion is that most young people are totally out of touch with WW-II history. Watch my restored and colorized video about D-day here: ua-cam.com/video/svXhOsBKvco/v-deo.html (with 2.5 million views!).as well as my other videos about WW-II (eg: ua-cam.com/video/HFowTxEyZc8/v-deo.html&).

I've just found this site. I was interested in the report of the skipper of LCT 922 and the comment about the assistance of LCT737. My father was the skipper of LCT 737. I'm interested in finding out where these reports are stored and whether we have access to any more.

As a young lad in 1970s Liverpool, my friend's dad worked on Liverpool docks, and on a couple of occasions took us onboard the "S.S Landfall" when it was moored in Collingwood Dock. I remember it was in a REALLY sorry state, and even though as a young lad I was vaguely aware that it had taken part in D-Day seeing it as it was in the late 70s it was hard to imagine it being true. The memory crossed my mind earlier this evening, and I though I'd search around online to see what had become of the old wreck, and first discovered that it had been purchased by the "Merseyside Historic Warship Preservation Trust" in 1994... before the HWPT went bust. Then on finding that it had been funded by the lottery heritage committee I searched YT for LCT 7074 and then find THIS GEM !!! Not ashamed to say I almost felt a bit "misty eyed" myself to see such an unbelievable transformation from the rusting wreck I remembered from childhood, that I'd imagined had been scrapped many years ago. What a fantastic memorial to the brave lads who manned these craft in such awful conditions. I'm so VERY glad to see that some of the veterans are still around to see how their efforts and heroism are being remembered. Great work, Great video... thank you.

very helpful video.. as we are planning to visit June 2024.. we are subscribed.

Thank you for sharing your experience

Awesome video, I've been watching Military History, most being WW2 all my life since age 5, & never knew it existed ,amazing 37yrs later & I'm still learning new things about WW2

Thanks for this, which goes to show that a low key presentation can also be an effective and engaging one, weaving those personal stories into the great arcs of history. I'm hoping to visit the D-Day Story the next time I'm in Portsmouth.

There has been no mention as yet of 7074's conversion into either one of ten LCT(E) Emergency Repair craft destined for the far east or one of three NSC (L), a floating engineering workshop where the tank deck was decked over and further superstructure added providing the space for the workshops and later the Master Mariners club Landfall and finally George Evans' night club...

other half...I might be able to help a bit here, in the 80's I had the daft idea of buying the vessel and returning her to her original condition and making a travelling D-day museum out of her. With this in mind and with the help of the Port of Liverpool Dock Office on Pier Head I tracked down the then owner at his club Blazes in the old fire station in Strand Rd Bootle. The figure of £8,000 was mentioned and I went off to chat up my old mate Pete, (sadly passed away now) he had been a stoker aboard HMS Albion and there was not a piece of machinery that would not bend to his will. He lived not far away in Woodvale and was intrigued by the idea. However in good old boom and bust Britain before we had time to do the deal I was made redundant and had to up sticks and find work elsewhere. I have many colour photographs of her in Collingwood Dock and will have them uploaded at some point. I am so pleased that she has been returned to her first incarnation and wish Mr Evan's family the very best. I still have George's book 'Landfall' and notice that it is no longer available anywhere that I can find...

This is awesome.. I remember seeing video of it when it was re-floated and carried in floating dry dock for restoration... Hope to one day make it over to see it in person...

Nice stream, Andrew, and many thanks for featuring my father Roger's model of LCT(R) 438.

Damn, we support the criminal in Moscow. Putin can only be defeated if we implement an immediate energy-saving lockdown. No more useless private trips. Heating only at night and only one room with light and electricity, you can simply set that at the fuse box.... Cities could, for example, switch off every second street lamp and companies could switch off their neon signs. We can initially hold back driving to pure business trips and hospital trips, etc....!!! Stop driving senseless now!!!! Don't waste Soviet energy!!!! Don't make Putin and his oligarchs rich!!!

Nice to see in peace and honoring the soldiers. History is repeating itself again in Europe after 80 years, only under different circumstances. GB are glad to be from the EU. You can decide for yourself.

Brarvo Mates most excellent job of restoring.

Wow. I need to visit. My late Dad was on one of those from Newhaven in a Sherman Crab. Landed on Sword at 07:30 on 6/6/44. The LCT next to his got hit. Scary.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤣

Incredibly beautiful restoration, definitely "First class"! It's hard to appreciate all the time, sacrifice, and hard work put into such a beautiful restoration of history! Well done!

You English really know how to tell a story, and show the utmost respect for the people and history of war, and its relevance to the people alive today. This project is just another example. Well done.

Well done!! 🇺🇸🇬🇧

an important exhibit - and so wise to display with the sherman and churchill aboard her. Just the sheer scale of the anglo-america in constructing the vast armada of specialist vessels used in the many amphibious landings.

Fantastic.

The roof looks wrong

Brilliant!!! Loved it

Where is This in England. I'm from the Netherlands thanks for answering

It sadly ended it's days as a floating night club with a reputation of ill repute. Thankfully her uniqueness was recognised and she was rescued and saved for the nation, and yes I did visit it as a nightclub!!

Looks excellent-and reminds me I need to make more time to appreciate the many parts of this country I've never seen. Thank you for the efforts from all of you.

Well done Great Britain. I was worried you had lost pride in your past and there were no more British patriots!

a work of love, honor, and respect. these stories and memories need to be told to every generation forever. it's not a history of one person or family or race or country. it is global, affecting all of humanity. to forget or to never have learned is unacceptable

Love them or hate them, I'm glad this one survives. Even on d day they were short of these landing vessels.

These came in different sizes. I was on a project in Venezuela that used an LCT for main base in one of the mouths of the Orinoco River. Quite a novel vessel. I have no idea where it came from except we found it in a town called Tucapita. It had three GM diesel engines, I believe they were either 6-71 or 6-110.

As a Yank, I sincerely hope to get over to see this wonderful recreation and to read the stories entailed there in. Congratulations on this monumental effort, cheers to those who participated and made it so the future people of this world understand her past.

Really need to get to Portsmouth... my father landed on Omaha Beach: Battery A, 32nd Field artillery battalion... after Sicily... he was 27 years old. (btw, does Portsmouth have records of which unit landed with which Landing craft?... even how they were loaded... i.e. Field Artillery Battalion)

There is an infantry landing craft on an A road roundabout near Shoreham, Sussex. It could do with saving also.

I do not envy the poor souls who drew the short straws to muck-out the hull but bless them all. It's good to see her take her place of honor in the stunning venue she occupies.

visited very recently. Excellent museum.

Of course there are no ships in Japan from the Second World War. They were sunk or disassembled.

Seven years? Man an aircraft carrier is built in ten

One of my early girlfriends 45 years ago, her father was in 1944 a 19 year old sub-lieutenant in the RNR, in command of an LCT carrying American tanks. ...... As they approached the beach, they came under fire, and the tank crews refused to disembark. Little more than a boy, but captain of his ship, he drew his revolver, and made it clear that his orders were to disembark the tanks - come what may. ...... And off they went. I lost touch with the family soon after, but I remember his contribution to our security and freedom, and honour his memory.

That was amazing, well done.

You overlook the fact that D Day was in colour. Everything we see of it is in black and white.
