Founded in 1998 by David Thomas and Bill Foy as a simple newsletter group, we have grown in size and experience over the past 13 years providing Higgins Pleasure Craft owners a venue of a community family while carrying on the American legacy of Higgins Industries and the stories behind the boats. Every two years our group has an annual meeting. In the past years we have come together a number of times displaying our beautiful Higgins pleasure craft. (Go to the Quincy Boat Show Link) We publish a newsletter with helpful insights on restorations and other Higgins information, including historical facts about the company and many items that Higgins Industries produced over the last century. Higgins Industries, known for producing the largest number of PT boats and landing craft during WWII, employing over 30,000 people with seven plants, was one of the largest contributors for this countries overall success during WWII and other military conflicts. While producing military items, Higgins Industries also produced beautiful pleasure craft, furniture, camping trailers, helicopters, airplanes, and many other items that we use today. Through the members of our organization, the spirit of Andrew Jackson Higgins and Higgins Industries, we continue to live on, sharing this great American legacy by restoring and displaying our Higgins boats at shows across the country.
