Zd915a. This is a section of an old 1:50000 map of the Mariveles area. I marked it up to point out some historical venues.

Zd915. This is the Camaya Point Pier. The Camaya Point Pier was used by an entrepreneur to ferry visitors to Corregidor from here. This pier is also used by the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP). This academy has provided honor guards for anniversaries on Corregidor. I contacted the owner of the boats, Mr. Wilfredo Labrador; he said that he had to stop operations because the virus crisis killed his business in March 2020. His boats and vehicles are on Corregidor, available to be bought at a bargain price. Corregidor is in sight in back of this picture! On the map I provided, the name “Camaya Point” is not being used. I recently read that Mariveles was called Camaya, a long time ago, is there a connection?

Zd907. On 14 December 1944, No. 43 Squadron, augmented by Catalinas from No. 11 Squadron based at Rathmines, New South Wales, mined Manila Bay to keep Japanese shipping “bottled up”, thus supporting the Allied landing at Mindoro taking place the next day. Flying from Leyte, the 24 Catalinas successfully dropped 60 mines in the heavily defended target area for the loss of one of their number, and returned to base at the limit of their fuel reserves
