Further to the north, but still along the stretch of beach known as Omaha on D-Day, is the small village of St. Laurent Sur Mer. Here several large ships were scuttled to create a temporary harbor, known as a Mulberry harbor, for landing ships carrying equipment and cargo to support the invasion. A second Mulberry harbor was created at Gold Beach in the British sector. Each could accommodate about 7,000 tons of supplies moved to shore per day.
