Here are a few more photos from the “Pictoral History of the Second World War”.
This first photo is really interesting. Here’s the caption:
OUTWITTING THE NAZIS: A little thing like a capsized ship doesn’t stand in the way of the U.S. Army engineers. Here, in the Naples Harbor they have outwitted the Nazis and turned a deficit into an asset by transforming an overturned ship into a pier. Nazi demolition ships in the harbor at Naples, like this one, did not count on the ingenuity of the Engineers. The ship’s superstructure, digging into the harbor bottom, steadies the hull. All five hatches of a Liberty ship can be unloaded at once alongside this improvised pier. All during the campaign through Italy the Allies came across numerous scenes of destruction like the one pictured here, designed to slow up the Allied march to victory in the former Mussolini stronghold.
I wish the light had been better for this photo:
