Rigg Bay looking Northeast. Visible offshore is a sunken prototype of one of the three types of Mulberry Harbour tested here during World War II. This is the "hippo" type - a floating concrete caisson with a steel superstructure. This type was not selected for use in the Allied invasion, and the caisson has now sunk leaving only the superstructure clearly visible.
Sadly, a storm in 2006 destroyed the remains and now only traces can be seen at low tide.text/html2005-09-27T21:27:30+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/2576Alan Brown54.757194 -4.357385NX4842 : Cruggleton Castle Cliffs (South)
