OK, I’m confused: was the Higgins Boat a PT Boat or a Landing Craft?

Two entirely different boats, and two entirely different missions. "Higgins Boat" was actually a generic name given to shallow draft vessels that could beach and offload men/equipment. Andrew Jackson Higgins and his contribution to to WWII was the reason the WWII Museum is in NOLA. Absolute bucket list museum. I've been many times.
