Abstract
Approved for Criterion A (Historical Events and Patterns), Criterion B (Important Person), and Criterion C (Architecture and Engineering). Quonset Hut 33 was formerly used as a galley storehouse at the center of the small housing encampment associated with enlisted African American men with the Naval Aviation Supply Depot. Today, it is the only building that exists from that installation. The Depot, also known as Manana, became the primary base for black seamen in the Pacific and “the largest base of Negro seamen the U.S. Navy has any place in the world”. Manana Barracks would ultimately provide housing and amenities for over 4,000 African American sailors who worked at the Supply Depot or as stevedores for logistics support companies and SeaBee units.
