This site stored and pumped oil for naval vessels. It was out of use when seen and is now long since demolished. This shows the boiler house that both kept the oil warm and drove the steam pumping engines in two separate pump houses. I only saw the main Worthington pump house but not the Hall's pump house. This shows three boilers that are essentially land based Scotch marine boilers.
