NEW ORLEANS -- The huge PT-305 nearly fills the World War II Museum's Restoration Pavilion.

The four-year restoration project is 80 percent complete as volunteers carefully restore each piece.

PT 305 was built at Higgins Industries in New Orleans in 1943. It sank two enemy craft in the Mediterranean during World War II.

When the restoration is complete in about a year, she'll be launched in Lake Pontchartrain.
