Mulberry Harbour 24688_027
Two blocks of Mulberry Harbour, Portland Harbour, Dorset. This modular design enabled two complete prefabricated harbours to be towed across the channel, assembled and operational within days of D-Day in 1944. These two surviving Phoenix caissons are constructed of reinforced concrete and were designed to act as breakwaters. They are now Listed Buildings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable Mulberry Harbour, a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess during World War II. The image showcases two blocks of this modular design, which were towed across the treacherous English Channel and assembled within days of D-Day in 1944. Located in Portland Harbour, Dorset, these surviving Phoenix caissons stand as silent witnesses to history. Constructed with reinforced concrete, these impressive structures served as breakwaters for the Allied forces during their crucial invasion of Normandy. Their modular design allowed for quick assembly and ensured that vital supplies could be offloaded onto the beaches efficiently. Today, they are recognized as Listed Buildings due to their historical significance and architectural value. The photograph by Damian Grady beautifully captures the strength and resilience embodied by these Mulberry Harbours. The black-and-white image evokes a sense of nostalgia while highlighting the stark simplicity of their construction. As we gaze upon this striking print, we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during World War II. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of our shared history but also of humanity's ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges through innovation and collaboration.
