In 2015 Classic Boat Supplies was proud to supply the  National WWII Museum in New Orleans with seven large bronze mushroom vents and two bronze shell vents for their restoration of a of WW2 torpedo attack boat - PT-305.

PT boats were a fast timber boat used by the US Navy in World War 2 for attacking enemy shipping.  Capable of 35-40 knots, they hold a special place in the American psyche. JFK famously commanded PT-109.

After serving in world war 2, PT-305 saw duty in many peacetime roles including time as a tourist boat and also as an oyster boat. The restoration or this 75' vessel has taken around seven years.
