Image: Britain's Mulberry Port at Arromanches A24159

Description: Britain's Mulberry Port at Arromanches Two Prefabricated Ports, each as big as Gibraltar, were manufactured in Britain in sections, towed across the channel, and set down off the coast of Normandy. The use of the prefabricated ports greatly simplified the problem of supplying the Allied armies in France. This particular picture was taken when the Mulberry arrived at Arromanches and was being assembled. This image shows a line of block ships at high tide.
