FERRO CEMENT BARGE
Remains of a WWII ferro cement barge (FCB) on Labrador Bay Beach which is only visible at low tide. The bow section is further up the beach. This one was believed to have been deliberately beached just after the war. FCB's played a crucial role in the D-Day Normandy landings where they were utilised for Mulberry harbours and transportation of fuel and munitions. Some were motorised, though the Labrador Bay example was not and could have been used for water transportation.
