LST 325 crewmember Zach Shaw is leading a tour at the ship's first stop in Muscatine Iowa. "This map shows you every location the ship went to during World War Two," he said. But speed wasn't why the ship was important to the allies in World War 2. McLeod said because so few world war two veterans remain, such artifacts are important to learn about the history. The LST-325 along with the Evansville Wartime Museum, are some of the main reasons Evansville is the designated WWII Heritage City for the state of Indiana.
