Re. Quarantine Station. The ruined building shown in the previous photos (officially called 'the ruined building') is still in partial use as for instance the Head Nurse has her office inside. But, there are also numerous other newer (but not new) buildings. The buildings to its right, housing admin, admissions etc look like colonial and so may be rebuilds of pre ww2 buildings. See pic. The small white 'cones' as seen just to the right of the flagpole are old shells which are used as entry posts. Attachments:

Not taken on Corregidor, nor indeed a military site, but for those not familiar with the Philippines it shows how scrapping is carried out: - nail at end of small stick, used with hammer to chip down to rebar (as in photo) - Sledgehammer and chisel to pull rebar out - hacksaw to cut piece off Reward, I think, Peso 15/kg.

... seemed to have a military feel to it ... but maybe not. For some reason pic is not vertical, my apologies but I have not yet worked-out how to post pics the way others manage. Attachments:

it is under the google 'hand' I had not noticed it before but there is a clear line from the lower pier (which still has numerous posts in the sea near it from when it was much larger) to the river and the longish building across the river. While it is a working hospital they seem OK with visitors to the historical / ruined buildings - just get permission from the head of admin Attachments:

The old Quarantine Station Building situated in the Mariveles Mental Hospital, but dating back to Spanish times (and much expanded by the Americans). Attachments:

There was the section of the chart previously posted at:
Re: Navy Tunnels still exist in Mariveles 2010 « Reply #18 on Oct 25, 2010, 10:29am »
Chart 4255 - about PHP 400: Mariveles harbour is at (i think) 1:30,000, with the rest of the approaches to Manila at a smaller scale.

A view of Mariveles which, judging by the state of construction of the road to the Hilltop Hotel, was taken circa 1973/1974. Clearly tunnel hunting would have been easier then. Attachments:
