Description
This is the boat from which I got several of my raw abstract photos. Geese Flying In, Abstract Landscape, and Rusted Waterfall were all vinettes I found on this boat. A little info on this type of boat: The LCM-8 ("Mike Boat") is a river boat and mechanized landing craft used by the United States Navy and Army during the Vietnam War and subsequent operations. They are currently used by governments and private organizations throughout the world. The acronym stands for "Landing Craft Mechanized, Mark 8. (The 'Mike Boat' term refers to the military phonetic alphabet, LCM being 'Lima Charley Mike')". US Army specifications call for a crew of six: two coxswains, two seaman and two enginemen.
