"Over 300 vessels made their way through the rough seas towards Juno Beach.
Of the twenty-five vessels in the first wave, twenty were destroyed or damaged; by the end of the day another sixty-six had been added to that total.
In order to get anywhere near the beach the landing craft personnel were forced to run their craft, sometimes blind, over rows of underwater mines and steel spiked barriers."
