LCPL

This boat, an early example from the Eureka Tug-Boat Company, was the progenitor of thousands of Second World War landing craft.

US Marines climb down a scramble net to an LCP(L) during preparations in the Fiji Islands for the Guadalcanal Campaign that that would take place in August 1942. These men appear to be filling a returned craft as first wave troops would have entered the boat prior to its being lowered to the water.

The Landing Craft Personnel (Large) or LCP (L) was a landing craft used extensively in the Second World War. Its primary purpose was to ferry troops from transport ships to attack enemy-held shores. The craft derived from a prototype designed by the Eureka Tug-Boat Company of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Manufactured initially in boatyards in and around New Orleans, as requirements grew it was produced in a number of yards around the United States. Typically constructed of pine planks and plywood, and fitted with some armor plate, this shallow-draft boat with a crew of 3, could ferry an infantry platoon of 36 to shore at 8 knots (13 km/h). Men generally entered the boat by walking over a gangplank from the boat deck of their troop transport as the LCP(L) hung from its davits. When loaded, the LCP(L) was lowered into the water. Soldiers exited the boat by jumping or climbing down from the craft’s bow or sides.
