Did you know that there is a piece of D-Day history right here in Oswego? The The LT-5 Major Elisha K. Henson is docked at the H. Lee White Maritime Museum at Oswego. The vessel was used in the buildup to Operation Overlord, which was the codename for the invasion of Normandy.
To learn more about the LT-5, visit https://hlwmm.org/pages/historic-vessels-on-display. The LT-5 is not open to board for tours, but a dockside experience is part of the museum tour at @maritimemuseum, so you will have a chance to check out the tug from the pier.
