[StartQuote] Dick The four or five Quonset Huts are the original ones from WWII, which sat on the Concrete Pier. You can see the entrance to the Finger Docks by looking to the left while standing on the concrete dock. You can clearly see the large White Tank, which I am not sure what was in it during the War. The old Marine Barracks, which is crumbling sits to the left of the last Quonset Hut on the Pier. You can really get a feel for the entrance in the Winter months when some of the boats are pulled from the water, and I believe during the summer, you can take a site seeing tour by boat, which will take you right by the old Base from the water. I viewed the area many times when my Exhibit was at the Navy War College Museum. The first Quonset Hut several years ago was a Resturant, which featured many many artifacts from the PT BOAT SERVICE. It was really something to see. When the place went out of buisness, I am not sure what happened to all of the artifacts. [EndQuote]
