FLOATING BREAKWATER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREE This invention relates to a shore protection device and more particularly to breakwaters for protecting shorelines against wave damage and erosion, The floating breakwater is manufactured primarily from steel plate between 3/8" thick and 3/16" thick which may be cold rolled steel. The assembly is basically similar to a large floating barge that has some unique design characteristics that allow it to have excellent performance as a breakwall. It is designed to be simple and easy to manufacture, (there are no unusual bending or rolling operations required) and it may be floated to the site or the shoreline which needs protection. Its main feature is that it is designed to break up the tremendous power and force of wave action as the waves come rolling toward the shore, which makes the wave quiescent as it continues on toward the shoreline after it goes over and under the floating breakwater. The wave is quieted to the extent that the wave will deposit sand and suspended solids and thereby continue to protect and build the shoreline.
