Remains of a Mulberry harbour, a temporary harbour developed by the British in World War II to offload cargo on the beaches during the Allied invasion of Normandy. Two prefabricated artificial harbours were taken across the English Channel from Britain with the invading army in sections and assembled off the coast of Normandy as part of the D-Day invasion of France in 1944. Arromanches lies along the stretch of coastline designated as Gold Beach during the D-Day landings and used by British troops in the Allied invasion.
