We used to make things in this country #358, Invasion Barges


 The Ramped Cargo Lighter was a British-designed and Canadian-built shallow draft cargo carrier intended for wartime use. The design is similar to and larger than a Higgins boat (52 feet compared to 36 feet). It was built largely from plywood, and powered by two engines. By the end of February 1944, 925 had been built by the two companies.
