Zc743. Propaganda Leaflets dropped over Subic Bay in 1944 or 45. I can make out three landmarks, at left is Camaya Point of the former Naval Magazine, Grande Island (ex Fort Wint) is in the mouth of Subic Bay, and the right valley is the former Agusuhin Village, Marine Corps Green Beach and now the Hanjin Shipyard. This picture could have been shot from above the area between Maquinaya and the present White Rock Resort.
This image came from the State Library of South Australia where WWII intelligence images are stored and it is credited to Mr. Nicholas Kerr.

Zc742. This voyage of F. S.-182 was from Puerto Princesa on Palawan to Subic Bay. It had a very special cargo on board, the bodies of139 American Prisoners that were executed (Karl says murdered) by the Japanese on Dec. 14 1944 at the Puerto Princesa prison camp.

The above two pictures came from a California Valley Veterans web page, I cannot find it anymore.

Zc747

Zc747. This is a Seabee camp (Naval Construction Battalion, NCB) in the Matain River Valley in 1945. This is where barangay (village) San Isidro is located now; it belongs to the Subic Municipality. Along that ridge runs now the “Go Vic Subic Diversion Road”. In the Subic Bay area were at least three NCBs busy during that time, NCB-102, NCB-11 and NCB-133. This picture came from this great web page http://www.subicbaypi.com/

Zc739

Zc739. The Navy pier in 1945 was located on this beach area in front of the hotels, By The Sea and Grand Seas, who are located there now. The former Navy pier must have connected to these concrete pilings.

Zc738

Zc738. Behind that point of land is where Baloy Beach starts and on an old Spanish map that point is called Mangalinocwin Pt. Those hotels are along the access road to Baloy Beach which were all built after the US Navy pulled out in 1992. Notice the two Filipinos fishing by skin diving.

Zc736

Zc736. This is what is left over from the steel wall built with the interlocking steel strips, about a foot wide and ½ inch thick or more. This was the Navy Pier, built in 1945, for the Supply Depot in this area, called Maquinaya then, which is now called Barrio Barretto. We see a fisherman skin diving around the former pier. In the back of this image we see Grande Island in Subic Bay and a nest of ships that transloads iron ore from a big ship with Brazilian iron ore to a smaller ship going to Red China. This shot is at a real low tide.
