## Description

The 350 Ton ship LCT 7074 is the only surviving Landing Craft \(Tank\) from D-Day, and one of only three in the world\. LCTs were built crudely and quickly to carry tanks and put them ashore - 7074 took 10 to Normandy on 6 June 1944\. This visionary project will secure a sustainable future for this exceptional survivor, completing the conservation that began with salvage in 2014, and showcasing her outside, alongside the new D-Day Museum - NMRN's project partners\. This puts 7074 in the city's heart, engaging a potential 4\.5 million annual users of Southsea Common with the story of the ship and her people; it puts her D-Day story - which uniquely links sea and land - in context for Museum visitors\. The project will create unique activity opportunities in Portsmouth and beyond, train apprentices and volunteers in practical conservation, and create a unique future venue\. An interpretation designer will be appointed to design the interpretation scheme\. The interpretation designer will be expected to liaise with the other teams regarding the co-ordination of design elements\.
