LAGO HOSPITAL
MORE PHOTOS NEEDED
The Lago Hospital is the large structure at the top of the photo, left. The hospital was open to all employees, foreign staff and local hire as well as their dependents. The three water tanks in the photo are the fresh water supply for the Colony. This was water brought in by Esso Oil Tankers that were specially fitted with cement lined tanks to transport the water from New Jersey as there were no fresh water well and desalination was considered to expensive. These special ships that supplied Lago Refinery with its food and water make the run to and from New Jersey on a regular schedule. Link to story about (LAGO SUPPLY SHIPS).
The Lago High School can be seen at the bottom, right of the photo.
