About the Talk

The Mulberry Harbours were a pivotal element in the success of the D-Day landings. These temporary portable harbors were designed and constructed by British military engineers to facilitate the rapid offloading of cargo onto the beaches during the Allied invasion of Normandy. Their design and execution exemplify innovative military engineering and highlight the critical role of logistics in modern warfare.

Jeff Morgan will take you on a journey through the planning, construction, and operational use of the Mulberry Harbours. His in-depth knowledge and engaging storytelling will bring to life the challenges faced by the engineers and the remarkable solutions they devised
