Another great area for relaxing is the historical WIlmington Riverfront!
Did you know?
Wilmington Riverfront was Originally the Dravo Shipyard
"The whole damn war depends on something called an LST."
Winston Churchill, just before D-Day, 1944
In fact, the nation's very first LSM was built and launched on February 26, 1944. The timely production of these amphibious ships provided a major tactical advantage for the Allied forces.
In total, the Dravo Wilmington Boatyard's contribution to the war effort was an astonishing:
• 34 Landing Ships Medium
• 5 Landing Ship Tanks
• 6 Anti-submarine Patrol Craft
• 17 Gate Vessels and 15 Destroyer Escorts
