Title: Normandy Invasion, June 1944
Description: View of the east end of the Mulberry 'A' artificial harbor off Omaha Beach, showing the Gooseberry breakwater of sunken ships and unloading operations at the shoreline. Among the vessels on the beach are USS LCT-149 at left, and USS LCT-195 just to the right of center. Photographed by the Office of Strategic Services. It was received by the Naval Photographic Science Laboratory on 21 November 1944, but actually taken in June of that year. Note beached seamen with their gear in the center foreground, and Royal Navy vehicle at the extreme lower left. This view appears to form the right part of a non-contiguous panorama with Photo # 80-G-286425. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
