ABSTRACT:
A plurality of elongated tanks positioned in parallel relationship with respect to each other are swingably interconnected at their aligned ends to provide a yieldingly undulating breakwater apparatus. The buoyancy of each of the tanks is individually adjustable so that the ratio of floating tanks to submerged tanks, and the various depths thereof, can be altered to suit the prevailing wave and current characteristics of a particular installation site.
