The Dock at Johnston Island Looks like the Navy is
here! |

Construction everywhere! Johnston Island, 1962 |

Looking out toward Sand Island. Taken from the control
tower, Main St. to the left, an underground bunker entrance on the right.
In upper right: a large pile of debris left from one of the failed missile
shots. |

Refreshments Anyone? This was the place to buy
a cold drink and was called the "Dominic Double Dip." |

One of the new launch pads, ready for flight.
A few weeks before, the area that I am taking the picture from, was ocean!
This dredged coral stuff gets into everything! |
 |
Two large dredgers grind up coral from the reef and
pipe it to the island in the background. Before dredging, the island
was only one mile long and a half mile wide. They had brought the
biggest dredger in the world in from Turkey and were extending the island
to three miles long. |
