Zf571. This Naval Station of Olongapo picture in the early 1900s, I have not seen before. This picture really shows a large Marine Corps presence, look at all those tents and the horses at left. Or could it be that the Army came for a visit? Notice the Naval Station of Olongapo West Gate, now […]

Zf570. This Naval Station of Olongapo picture in the early 1900s is in this album already but this one is much clearer. It seems to have been shot from the Kalaklan Ridge and it is much clearer and it seems to be zoomed in

Hanjin Shipyard in the Subic Bay area from Google Earth.

Zf546. Hanjin Shipyard in the Subic Bay area from Google Earth. Met an American worker today (20th Feb. 2022) in Barrio Barretto in Subic Bay. He told me this.

Zf536. This is one of 6 images walking up to the first ridge of Mt. Kalaklan, starting at the Gordon Heights Valley in Olongapo. The line makes it up with three towers. It was easy to cross the Mabayuan River coming out of the Gordon Heights Valley. An 11 year boy had showed me the […]

Zf534. This is the SBFZ Main Gate Bridge being rebuilt. The project is going very, very slowly but this picture shows some progress. Those big pipes are new, perhaps for pouring concrete for the bridge pilings.

Zf533. This is the concrete embankment wall along the National Highway to Zambales. It is just short of the entrance to the Baloy Long Beach. Recently someone painted graffiti on the wall about American Imperialism. It seems shortly thereafter, someone or the authorities painted over it and got rid of that foul graffiti. Thanks, great […]

Zf530. This older pre WWII picture of the Olongapo Naval Yard I received earlier (but I don’t remember from who or where from) and it was mirror type reversed and I had to learn how to flip it. Thank you friend, whoever sent this image to me!
