In World War II, American port engineers faced an impossible problem: how do you supply an invasion force when the enemy controls every port? The solution became one of history's greatest engineering achievements.
This is an in-depth explainer on Mulberry Harbors—the artificial ports that transformed military logistics and proved rapid infrastructure deployment was possible under the most extreme conditions.
We break down:
✓ Why civilian port capture failed (Dieppe Raid analysis)
✓ How engineers designed for rapid prefabrication
✓ The floating technology that adapted to 21-foot tidal changes
✓ Construction logistics: 55,000 workers, multiple British locations
✓ Real-time assembly in combat (without modern equipment)
✓ Supply statistics that show why this mattered strategically
This video is part of our series on military infrastructure, rapid construction, and engineering under pressure. Perfect for students, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in how constraints drive innovation.
