EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the remains of Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches, Normandy, a testament to the extraordinary idea of floating concrete harbours across the Channel. It is said that this innovative concept was conceived by none other than Winston Churchill himself. Originally, there were two Mulberry Harbours constructed during World War II, but tragically one at Omaha Beach was destroyed by a fierce storm.
The sheer scale and complexity of these floating structures is truly remarkable - designed and built in just 10 months to support the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day. The ingenuity and engineering prowess required for such an undertaking is awe-inspiring.
As we gaze upon this poignant image, we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made by those who fought bravely on these shores. The remnants of Mulberry Harbour stand as a solemn reminder of the courage and determination displayed during one of history's most pivotal moments.
Let us never forget the significance of this site and honor those who played a role in its creation. This print serves as a powerful tribute to all who served during that fateful time in history.
