Cherbourg Docks

Cherbourg Docks

Aerial inclined photograph showing docks surrounded by town. To the left open sea with beach at the top. In the centre three interconnected dock basins, the bottom left one with a divider, surrounded by dockyard buildings and installations. A series of small canals and defensive fortifications circle the dock area with the town outside. Bomb explosions go from the bottom basin across the dockyard to its right side. Bomb impacts can be seen in the water in the right hand basin which is partially obscured by smoke. Captioned 'Cherbourg'.
