Mulberry Harbour Phoenix Units, Portland
Mulberry Harbour Phoenix Units, Portland, World War II concrete structures in Portland, England.
Two reinforced concrete caissons stand near Queen's Pier in Portland Harbour, measuring several stories high and extending into the water.
The Phoenix Units were essential components of artificial Mulberry harbours, facilitating the supply of troops and materials during the 1944 Normandy landings.
Six statues placed on top of the units in 2017 depict British sailors, American soldiers, and dock workers who participated in wartime operations.
The concrete structures currently function as windbreaks for vessels berthing at Queen's Pier, while remaining accessible for public viewing from the shoreline.
From an original collection of 213 units manufactured for D-Day operations, these two specimens represent the last remaining caissons in Portland.
