Figure 2.9. Looking southeast over the Port <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong>’s Outer Harbor<br />

Terminal to the Camp Knight portion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Oakland</strong> Army Base, 1953.<br />

This cantonment <strong>of</strong> “temporary” wartime structures was later replaced by<br />

new Port facilities and by new construction on the base. (Port <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong><br />

Archives.)<br />

Figure 2.10. <strong>Oakland</strong> Army Base and <strong>Oakland</strong> Outer Harbor Terminal,<br />

1947. This high‐altitude view shows the full extent <strong>of</strong> the base’s wartime<br />

development. Transit sheds and ship‐repair buildings border the basin<br />

(left), adjoined by administration and support facilities. The warehouses<br />

and rail yard are clearly visible east <strong>of</strong> Maritime Street. Tucked behind the<br />

Port’s Outer Harbor Terminal (then part <strong>of</strong> the base) are the orderly rows <strong>of</strong><br />

Camp Knight, with a cluster <strong>of</strong> support facilities at the base’s southeast<br />

corner. (Port <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> Archives.)<br />
