Original work: Watercolor
Original size:
A heavy storm stopped all unloading at the beaches and did considerable damage several days after D-Day. This view looked east along a stretch of the westernmost of the two American beaches during the worst period, when all types of small craft were blown ashore, together with pontoon barges and "rhinos," in one gigantic mass. Many small craft sought the shelter of the block ships, and when their anchors would not hold they were forced onto the beach en mass, knocking great gaping holes in each other. A beached LCM and pontoon sections are in the foreground, and in the background are a wrecked LCI and more small amphibious craft.
