This basin, according to recent information, has been dredged to a
depth of 8t. meters and is 800 meters long and 240 meters wide. The
granite surfaced quays hate been repaired. Railroad tracks lead
elm? both banks. This basin specialises in timber trade and
bulk goods. There are large oil tanks with a caraicty of from
4,000 to 5,000 tons.
(3) On the southern bank of the Town Canal, opposite the Winter
Harbor, there is the Fishery Harbor (13), a small basin: 2ir
meters deep and suitable only for small fishing cutters.;
(9) The middle part of the canal, between the town (11a) and the
railroad bridge (14a) is suitable only for coasters and is 4 to 5
meters deep (14). The quays east of the railroad bridge with a
depth from 2.8 to 4 meters are used only for local traffic (15).
(10) The Naval Port (16) consists of a 2,000-.meter long and at
least /00-meter wide dredged canal, running in a W-E direction.
It is situated about 2 knots north of the Commercial Port. The
mouth of this canal into the Outer Port is protected by two moles
(160. Approximately 750 meters west of the mouth the canal is
crossed by a swing bridge. The naval port hari two basins: one in
the extension of the canal (18) about 1,100 peters long and 240
meters wide; the other stretches in a northerly direction ip
about 800 meters wide and 260 meters long (M. The canal and the
basins are dredged to a depth of 10 meters and are suitable for
vessels with up to 9.1 meters draft.
401) On the western side of the northern basin, Basin II, are the
Jetties used by submarines; the old naval barracks are located off
the quay (20). The eastern and southern sides of the basin belong
to the Naval Dockyard ?(22).
(12) According to recent information a submarine base is under
construction in the northeast corner C3f the Outer Port (21). Pro-
bably large submarine pens, work and repair shops, required for
the maintenance and repair of submarines, are being constructed
there.
(13) No information has been obtained on the construction of any. '
new facilities in the Commercial Harbor. The present port facilities
are adequate for the present limited turnover. For details, see
attached list (Annex Z).
b. rsiglaulgalkalag.122i4=2.2
There are at least six electric cranes with a capacity of from 2 to.
20 tons in the Town Harbor and six electric cranes with a capacity
of from 25 to 120 tons in the Winter Harbor. Four floating cranes
with a capacity of from 25 to 50 tons are also available. The
crane equipment seams to be sufficient for the present tUrnover.

on the northweaterb side of the naval port. It vas formerly called
TOWDMV00 but was renamed Zhdanev Shipyard by the Soviets (22). This
