ABSTRACT:
A floating breakwater is disclosed which comprises a plurality of floating breakwater units interconnected with each other in side by side relation and anchored to the sea bottom with anchor cables or chains. Each floating breakwater units comprises a center float, a front and rear barrier joined thereto with connecting members in suitably spaced apart relation or directly joined to the center float so as to define the separated spaces therebetween. The pitching, heaving and surging of the floating breakwater may be minimized, and the waves of a relatively wide range of wave lengths may be effectively reflected and depressed or abated so that a safe and comparatively calm sea space may be provided behind the floating breakwater.
