feet of the offshore wharf. Three pontoon
wharves at the downstream end of the yard
provide an additional 380 feet of wharfage.
The shipyard contains approximately 65
buildings. These include a probable prefabri-
cation building, a machine shop, a probable
machine shop, a possible forge, an adminis-
tration building, shops, and storage buildings.
The industrial buildings are located in the
center of the yard near the graving dock.
Storage buildings and yards are located at
both ends of the yard.
Security measures include a perimeter
wall and a fence between the wharves and the
yard. An unoccupied AA site is within the
walls. The shipyard is not accessible by
rail.
The only significant changes observed ^
are ~~.~. ~~-
pansion of the probable prefa rication building,
the construction of a possible shop, and the con-
struction or expansion of approximately 10
storage buildings. Construction appears to
be continuing at the downstream end of the
yard adjoining the building ways.
