Using the Artificial Harbor
US Army vehicles roll ashore on one of the floating causeways of the 'Mulberry' artificial harbor off Omaha Beach, June 16, 1944. The causeway had been erected by US Navy SeaBees. Note the M3 half-track in the lead, towing a howitzer, and the Jeep behind it with a semi-circle marking painted on its grill.
