Thanks for the info - seems unlikely there's an LCA surviving now, which is too bad.
The LCVP restoration reminds me of a summer camp I went to as a a boy, round about 1960 or so. It is on an island in Lake of the Woods, Ontario, and campers were transported on a sort of launch/cabin cruiser. I was told the camp (Pioneer Camp) had only recently stopped using a "wartime" landing craft, and it was sitting derelict in a backside bay of the camp island. I remember having a half-sunken weathered hulk pointed out to me, and my mind's eye seems to recall a Higgins-boat type of craft, but I now wonder if it might in fact have been an LCA. With Lake of the Woods bordered by Canada and U.S. i t could have been either type, I suppose.
