EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to October 1946, offering a mesmerizing aerial view of Portland Harbour in Dorset. The image showcases the bustling port and its magnificent harbor from a northern perspective. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the imposing presence of three battleships anchored within the harbor, with HMS Nelson standing proudly amongst them. The photograph also reveals an intriguing sight - a string of Mulberry Harbour Phoenix breakwater caissons stretching across the water. These engineering marvels were vital during World War II as they provided temporary harbors for Allied forces during D-Day and subsequent military operations. Remarkably, two of these caissons can still be seen at Portland today, serving as silent reminders of their historic significance. Aerially captured by Aerofilms Ltd. , this snapshot offers a unique glimpse into maritime history and highlights the importance of Portland Harbour as a strategic naval base for the Royal Navy. It is fascinating to imagine how this once thriving hub buzzed with activity during wartime. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this print not only immortalizes an important moment in history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience amidst conflict.
