Prefabricated Ports. Two Prefabricated Ports each as big as Gibraltar were manufactured
Prefabricated Ports. Two Prefabricated Ports each as big as Gibraltar were manufactured in Britain in sections, towed across the channel, and set down off the coast of Normandy. The use of the prefabricated ports greatly simplified the problem of supplying the Allied Armies in France. Pictured, big concrete caissons forming main deep water breakwater. Steel roadways carried on steel girders run out from the beach at Arromanches to distant pier-heads at which our invasion craft, including 7, 000-ton vessels, discharged their urgent cargoes. A pier-head, with a displacement of 1, 000 tons, complete with crews quarters, generating sets, and storage accommodation, at the end of the cross-Channel tow. October 1944
