It was to do with the Allied landings in France , 1944. For more info check this page out: http://search.eb.com/normandy/articles/Mulberry.html The construction of the mulberry harbours directly after the invasion. Briefly, artificial harbours were built and floated across the English Channel to the French coast in order to speed up the unloading of fleets of large cargo ships from America with shiploads of men and war materiel to support the Allied advances across the Western Front. These floating harbours would be used until suitable natural harbours and infrastructures could be captured and used. The German occupiers had booby-trapped the docks, wharves etc. in the few French harbours to prevent their use during any successful invasion of the French coast. Without the success of Operation Mulberry, the war in Nazi-occupied Europe would have dragged on for a very long time indeed.
