The "landing" boat with the jeep in it was made in New Orleans. Apparently Andrew Jackson Higgins had a boat company in New Orleans, where he had something like 50 or 500 employees and he had this idea on how to do water landings, which was a great help in the Pacific theater. They said that by the end of the war there were 300,000 employees of the Higgins boat company, and they had made something like 98% of all the Navy's amphibious landing boats.
