South Dock - a photo on Flickriver

South Dock

Corregidor, Philippines

South Dock - this was formerly a U.S. Navy wharf. Currently, it is used by yachts, ferry boats and vessels of the Philippine Navy. The South Dock offers a convenient alternative for landing on days when strong winds make it difficult for vessels to dock at North Dock. In the afternoon after work, employees who work and reside in Corregidor and their dependents usually come to the dock to fish. Nearby is a beach where you will find picnic sheds. The beach is also a favorite among visitors and tourists who come to gather "bloodstones" as a souvenir to take home. These stones were called as such because of the varied blood-like design patterns on its surface. Legends say that these stones were tainted by the blood of Filipino, American, and Japanese soldiers who died in Corregidor during the war. A geologists, however, will contradict these legends and explain that this is only the result of a chemical reaction caused by sea water on the the type of rock found in the island.
