El Varadero Civil de Cañacao En Cavite (Old Spanish Slipway)

In 1884, the Spaniards approved the establishment of El Varadero de Manila or Fernandez Shipyard (the vacant lot in front of the present 15th Strike Wing, PAF Headquarters) which served Sangley Point as its western boundary. El Varadero de Manila acquired the area from a British company which was granted a 99-year decree. It was inaugurated in 1885.

When the Americans came in 1898, the facilities at Sangley Point was taken over by the U.S. Naval Expeditionary Forces under the command of Commodore George Dewey. 

Below are photos of former employees in the varadero

Pero bago ang Varadero daungan at gawaan din yan ng mga Galleon ng napakahabang panahon. Oo yung galleon na napapanood na lamang natin sa mga pelikula. Dito sa ating ciudad ang kuta nila nuong araw kaya nga tayo may Chabacano. Di ba mahirap talunin ang napakakulay na kasaysayan ng ating siyudad?
