Three days after the D Day, two artificial ports with the code name “mulberry A and B” were towed five mile per hour through the English Channel and assembled in the beaches of Omaha and Arromanches. On June the 19th the “Mulberry” of Omaha was destroyed in a great storm, nevertheless, the one of Arromanches, known like port Winston, designed for last three months, was used for eight.
A hundred days after the Day D, this port had discharged 2,5 million men, 500.000 vehicles and four million tons of supplies, necessary to maintain the operation Overlord and to supply the allied forces along the road from France to Berlin.
The port of Winston remains as one of the best examples of military engineering work ever done.
