Zd922

Zd922. One of three images, left to right of the Sisiman Bay. It is very scenic and a new viewing deck has been built and this is where I shot the pictures from. The power plant has expanded and has now two stacks which did not get on the picture. From Corregidor it looks like they also established a solar field. Corregidor is in view. Sisiman Bay, of course, is famous because it was home of the PT Boat squadron that attacked Japanese held Subic Bay, sunk a Japanese boat landing troops behind the Bataan defense line, rescued over two hundred perhaps, survivors of the SS Corregidor, sunk in the Corregidor minefield. The PT boats are most famous for breaking thru the Japanese lines and delivering Gen. MacArthur to Mindanao. They started from here and picked up the General and his staff

I marked in, the approximate location of the Navy Tunnels and made the note about the suicide boats that caused more casualties and need to be counted when looking at the cost of liberating Bataan and Corregidor.
