Forming Up Landing ships put cargo ashore on one of the invasion beaches, at low tide during the first days of the operation, June 1944.
Among identifiable ships present are USS LST-532 (center); USS LST-262 (third LST from right); USS LST-310 (second LST from right); USS LST-533 (partially visible at far right); and USS LST-524.
Barrage balloons fly overhead and an Army "half-track" convoy forms up on the beach.
