NEW YORK — A World War II-era boat was discovered at drought-stricken Shasta Lake in California, the U.S. Forest Service announced.
The Shasta-Trinity National Forest shared photos of the vessel it called the Higgins boat, or"Ghost Boat," on Facebook on Sunday.
The boat was also used as a headquarters for Gen. George S. Patton during the 1943 invasion of Sicily, the Forest Service said. "It really is quite remarkable how it emerged from the lake with so many stories to tell," the Forest Service said."Any 'restoration' will be done to preserve as much of the integrity of the boat as possible and will hopefully preserve it in a weathered 'combat fatigue' look, and that is how it is intended to be displayed at a museum in Nebraska."
In July, another Higgins boat surfaced on Nevada's Lake Mead because of receding waters amid rising temperatures.
