Jigsaw Puzzles From Memory Lane
One of Britains secret war achievements- the Military Port
One of Britains secret war achievements- the Military Port. After the fall of France in 1940 the
South and East Coast British ports were virtually closed to large ocean going ships.
Two ports were therefore built for military purpose on the West coast of Scotland; one in the Gareloch of the Clyde and one in Cairnryan, Loch Ryan, Wigtownshire.
The ports and their railways connecting with the main lines were built entirely by Military labour Royal Engineers and the Pioneer Corps.
The complex engineering problems involved were mastered by Army engineers with advice from a panel of three civilian experts. Work began at the end of 1940, and the first ship berthed in July 1942.
Besides their obvious value as military operations the two ports were used as testing grounds in underwater clearance work and the men who built them built part of the famous Mulberry harbour.
Picture shows: Number 2 Military Port at Cairnryan, Loch Ryan, Wigtownshire.
