Take a ride aboard a restored Higgins boat

NEW ORLEANS -- A P-T 305 torpedo boat is hitting the water this weekend for the first time since WWII.

Deck tours are also available Wednesday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The last tour begins at 3 p.m. each day.

The deck tours last about 45 minutes and are open to anyone 12 or older.
