    Recollection of childhood in Hercules during World War 2

    “This was the dynamite loading wharf after Hercules left wharf was used for fishing by kids. Trouble was they started fires to keep warm. Then fire dept had to put it out. They cut out a section about 20 ft of decking but it did not stop fire. Finally wharf was removed. The acid wharf was built for pumps to pump cooling water fro the acid areas behind Power House.”
