Description
English: Britain's Mulberry Port at Arromanches
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. This particular picture was taken when the Mulberry arrived at Arromanches and was being assembled. This image shows a line of block ships at high tide.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
