Lepe - A closer view of a Dolphin
Like many other places, Lepe was used for the embarkation and launching of ships and other craft carrying men, vehicles and supplies for onward movement to Normandy to take part in D-Day. The remains of some of the various concrete, brick and wooden structures that were built can still be seen. The dolphins formed part of the pier head used to load the ships.

Keith Burton club has replied to aNNa schramm clubA dolphin is an isolated marine structure for berthing and mooring of
vessels. It is not uncommon that the combination of dolphins with piers could drastically reduce the size of piers.
Dolphins are generally divided into two types, namely breasting dolphins and mooring dolphins. Breasting dolphins serves the following purposes:
(i) Assist in berthing of vessels by taking up some berthing loads.
(ii) Keep the vessel from pressing against the pier structure.
(iii) Serve as mooring points to restrict the longitudinal movement of the berthing vessel.
Mooring dolphins, as the name implies, are used for mooring only and for securing the vessels by using ropes. They are also commonly used near pier structures to control the transverse movement of berthing vessels.
There is a link here with illustrations: www.engineeringcivil.com/what-is-the-difference-between-breasting-dolphin-and-mooring-dolphin.html (Sorry about the adverts).
aNNa schramm club has replied to Keith Burton clubyou've put so much effort into it now, but it's unclear to me ;-(((
although I grew up at the water and harbour I come from the North Sea (Bremerhaven)....
Is there a picture on Wikipedia so I can understand it? I always think of a pier
