French civilians waiting for a ferry, Cherbourg

French civilians wait to board a boat pressed into service to replace a bridge demolished by the Germans, the remains of which can be seen sticking up to the top right of the photo. The bridge connected the commercial dock to the outer harbour.

Same location in 2007.
