Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

Kaiser Shipyard No. 1 was at the end of Harbor Channel; Shipyard No. 2 was in the Inner Harbor Basin; Shipyard No. 3 was at Point Potrero; and Shipyard No. 4 was at the end of the Santa Fe Channel. Note the building marked with a black shape roughly resembling the State of Utah on the south side of Cutting Blvd. This was the shipyard’s hospital and clinic and would become the first hospital in the Kaiser-Permanente system. This was a Kaiser-Permanente facility until 1995. The building still exists and is home to the Masjid Al-Noor Mosque.
