Description
The historic dolphin of Mylor Harbour south Cornwall is now used to store fishing pots.
It is such a peaceful scene today, with fishing boats and pleasure craft bobbing in Mylor Creek, but it wasn't always this tranquil.
D-Day, June 6th 1944, is one of the most significant dates in modern history, defining the start of the final phase of World War II in Europe.
The D-Day landing craft maintenance site at Mylor harbour survives well as the only such site nationally which retains one of its dolphins intact along with the gridiron.
It forms an integral part of a group of maintenance and embarkation sites along the coast bordering the Carrick Roads, together with camps and transit areas behind the coast, which reflected the infrastructure necessary for successful preparation and execution of the D-Day landings.
