EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Mulberry Harbour, also known as Port Winston, off the shores of Arromanches, Normandy, in December 1944. The Allied Armies, who had invaded Normandy in June of that year, required a swift and efficient means of unloading supplies to support their ongoing military operations. In response, Allied commanders made the decision to transport and assemble a pre-fabricated port, composed of caissons like the one depicted in this image. The caissons, which were made in the United Kingdom and towed across the English Channel, were used to create an artificial harbour capable of handling large ships and facilitating the import of essential supplies. The harbour, which was built at Arromanches Beach, proved to be a crucial logistical asset for the Allied forces, enabling them to sustain their military efforts in the face of the formidable German defenses. This photograph offers a glimpse into the historical significance of Mulberry Harbour during the Second World War. The busy wharf scene showcases the industrious spirit and ingenuity of the Allied forces as they worked to overcome the challenges of war and establish a foothold in Europe. The caissons, which played a pivotal role in the success of the Normandy landings, remain an enduring symbol of the Allied victory and the resilience of humanity in the face of adversity.
