D Day series; Arromanches, a gateway to exploring D Day History

Find out about Mulberry harbour B, a remarkable engineering feat of the Allies that enabled them to consolidate their foothold in Normandy. In the Arromanches museum you can discover all about that the harbour as well as other aspects of the D Day landings. It was an extraordinary accomplishment to build a prefabricated harbour, tow it across the English Channel and place it where one never existed before.
