The Camber Shipyard at Wellington Barracks during the Japanese Occupation 1942-1945

Elizabeth Ride has kindly sent the sketch map and key from a February 1945 BAAG report shown below.

Stephen Davies: This was also known at the Boat Pool. gwulo has a map shown in the its link below which shows the Camber as the small basin to the right, ie east, of the main basin.

Hugh Farmer: Some mystery surrounds this shipyard. There is a lack of information and images presumably because it was military and therefore not in the business of broadcasting what went on there, nor encouraging photography. Indeed was it a Navy or Army shipyard? see gwulo below.

Any information about The Camber would be welcomed.

See:

1. http://gwulo.com/atom/19407 – “The Camber – That’s the name of the small basin and slip above Wellington Barracks. On a 1920s map, it looks as though the buildings around the Camber belonged to the Army. So was the Camber specifically for Army use, or was it shared with the Navy?”
