English reading guide
About this dossier
The dossier examines the storm of 19–22 June 1944 and its effects on Omaha's harbour installations. Plans compare the layout before and after the weather, while the text discusses northeasterly winds, high tides and the vulnerability of breakwaters and moorings. A list identifies vessels driven ashore. The page provides the main chronological account for the separate photographic dossiers on the storm itself and the wreckage left behind.
