Zf494. This is one of 5 pictures that show the remains of the U.S. Navy Pier at the barangay (village or barrio) Barretto in Olongapo City at the shore of Subic Bay. The picture numbers are 101, 103, 104, 105 & 107. The pier was built in 1945 when this area was called Maquinaya, from the name of the river that drains this valley. I believe this Maquinaya military area was returned to the Philippine Authorities around 1959 and now it is an international known tourist spot. This is one of the lowest tides I ever saw here in Barrio Barretto.
