This island, an area of approx. 1/2 square mile and the highest point being 167 feet

above sea level, is located at the mouth of Subic Bay. It has been a natural point used to protect shipping in Subic Bay since the 16th century.  Spanish batteries were originally located around Subic Bay. However, they

were not yet completed in 1898 so the Spanish decided to abandon them.
