| Lorcha Dock
- it was at this dock where on March 11, 1942, Gen. Douglas MacArthur
boarded PT (torpedo) Boat 41 under the command of Navy Lt. John
Bulkeley which took him to the Bogo dock of the Del Monte Pineapple
Canning plant in Misamis Oriental where he later proceeded to
Australia by aircraft. Only the ruins of the dock could now be
seen aside from rusted tracks of an old railway system which
connected Lorcha Dock with Malinta Tunnel. This rail transportation
not only brought personnel to different parts of the island but
it also allowed the quick and efficient transport of ordnance
and war materials from this dock to the tunnel. |
