RHH's photos with the keyword: arromanches-les-bains

These are some of the concrete caissons used on D-Day and after to form an artificial harbor and piers at Arromanches. The caissons were towed across the English Channel and sunk to form the artificial harbor code-named "Mulberry." The harbor was later wrecked by a storm but part of it can still be seen out at sea and on the beach at Arromanches. Several parts are visible on the horizon just above these beached caissons.

Taken from the beach at Arromanches, where we walked the beach and took photos of the remains of the artificial harbors know as Mulberries, used on D-Day and after.

When we visited the D-day sites at Arromanches we walked the beach and saw there the remains of the artificial harbors used bring in supplies. These harbors were code-named "Mulberries" and were later destroyed by a storm. The remains of one of them are on the beach and out at sea at Arromanches. The photo shows one of the caissons, which were towed across the English Channel on D-day, and which is now on the beach, and another out in the water off the beach. The inset shows the aftermath of a lunch of mussels enjoyed at La Baraka in Arromanches.
