What is recorded here

WWII era concrete fuel barge converted into breakwater
A concrete fuel barge converted into a breakwater during WWII, the *Port Werburgh* was likely lost in the 1940s as part of the Mulberry Harbour project, serving as an artificial reef; no lives were lost, and it remains significant as a wartime engineering feature.
