EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the construction of the Mulberry B harbour, also known as Port Winston, at Gold Beach in Arromanches, Normandy. This ingenious pre-fabricated port was built to address the logistical challenge of supplying the Allied Armies in Northern France after the D-Day landings. The image showcases a section of the floating roadway that would be towed across the treacherous Channel waters to its final destination. It is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess during one of World War II's most significant battles - The Battle of Normandy. Taken on June 7th, 1944, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era defined by bravery and sacrifice. As troops fought valiantly on land, engineers worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure their success. The floating roadways played a crucial role in facilitating transportation and logistics for both men and supplies. In this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints' collection, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by those involved in Operation Overlord. It serves as a poignant reminder of how innovation can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles during times of war. This historic image encapsulates not only military strategy but also highlights Europe's resilience amidst conflict. It stands as an enduring symbol of unity among Allied forces who came together with one common goal - liberating France from German occupation.
