Breakwater Wall The East Mole Dunkirk

Jetée de Malo, Dunkerque
Hauts-de-France, France

The 8-foot-wide, half-mile-long breakwater wall, known as the mole, extended off the beaches of Dunkirk, France, serving as a makeshift dock for British leaders trying to evacuate 400,000 troops pinned down by German forces in the early days of World War II.
