Visit Remains Mulberry Harbour to see what's left of an engineering marvel. A Mulberry harbor was a portable, temporary harbor for rapidly offloading cargo--men, vehicles, and supplies--onto the beaches during the Allied invasion of Normandy. Designed by the British and built in England, the harbors featured breakwaters, piers, roadways, and more. Come here for an appreciation for the effort it took just to supply the troops.

Allan Beckett was the engineer who designed the floating causeway in front of Mulberry Harbour. In June 2009, a monument was erected to him in Arromanches-les-Bains. His contribution to the Mulberry was to design the floating roads that connected the dock to the shore and a system of anchors. The causeway had to be strong enough to withstand the constant wave action which, as occurred in the appalling weather of June 1944, was far more severe than anticipated. Beckett's design, which had been tested in the severe conditions of Scotland in winter, survived the storm that hit on June 19, 1944 and lasted for three days.
