Just prior to the sinking and during the salvaging period. Several items were gather and donated to the History Center for display and storage. Mr. Donlon is actively seeking additional historical artifacts related to the Muliphen for display or storage. The Center has on display a "Higgins Boat" (circa 1969) although this boat was not an actual Muliphen boat, the center has repainted and updated the boat with the Muliphen identification. Mr. Donlon has assured me that if they receive any artifacts in reference to the Muliphen, they will properly displayed or store for posterity. Presently, Mr. Donlon is seeking a "Mike" boat, LCM where he will rehab and place the Muliphen markings and store on display. (anyone having access to an "old" Mike boat please contact Mr. Donlon or your webmaster. The boat does not have to be seaworthy or run, just look good)
Some of you might remember the "1-MC" and our pre-AC "fan" they have on display (These items have been carefully restored and are on display)
