During World War 2 they were used as breakwaters to create two temporary harbours, Mulberry A at Omaha beach, and Mulberry B at Gold beach at Normandy in France to offload supplies and equipment to support the allied invasion in June 1944 due to the lack of suitable ports along the invasion beached. Their design was based on a concept originally proposed by Winston Churchill in 1917. Picture Credit: Graham Hunt/Alamy Live News
