Manu'a Dock Project
p. 141 · Read in the full issue
Equipment for Manu’a’s first dock project was landed at Faleasao, Ta’u, on May 12, under the supervision of Mr. E. E.
Wilson, Director of Public Works in Eastern Samoa.
Heavy seas had spoiled the first attempt in 1954. This time the heavy crane, bulldozer and other equipment were shipped in a lighter towed by the Manu’a Tele and were transferred from the lighter to a raft made of empty 50-gallon drums covered by a sturdy plat form.
A 100 ft dock will be built, a small turning-basin dredged out and a road cut to Fitiuta village. (Pago Pago Correspondent ).
