Zc733. Here is the same area and is called the Supply Annex; in this picture you can make out a large pier and a small vessel is moored to it. If you compare this ridge line with the one in the last image (ZC732) you must be convinced, like I am, that is the same ridge.

Zc732. NSD means Naval Supply Depot and this is dated 1950; there is no doubt in my mind that the area pictured is where Barrio Barretto is now and which used to be the Maquinaya area. Kalaklan Point just got onto the picture also at right.

Zc734. What a change, this is Barrio Barretto now! I tried to angle this Google Earth image like image #Zc728 and marked it with some relevant points in this album. The pictures # Zc732 and Zc733 show the Navy supply place which is called Naval Supply Depot (NSD) or Naval Supply Annex, it was built in 1945 and was used a number of years. This is located in the area that is called Barrio Barretto now (where I live now). I marked the approximate location of the pier on this Google Earth image. The next 7 images show what is left of the pier as of Sep. 2015.

Zc731. The picture says “Olongapo Rifle Range” and it is from the 1920s. We can safely assume this in the Maquinaya area because history says the Navy Rifle Range was here. This picture was provided by my Marine friend Bert Caloud.
