Thank you for your help. I guess (PB) is previous bread and (LB) is last bread?
Subbase Drydock: …"founders Gene and Mary Kral and their offspring, Geno and Marie."

“We went right to work, clearing the land and opening the business out of a 30-foot-by-30-foot wooden office/workshop,” Gene recalled. “Our only crane began hauling boats as large as 35 feet so that I and the five-man crew could fabricate parts and make repairs at a New York pace. Our very first employee, Kenny Layne is still with us.”
Just five years later, Mary remarked, the business moved into the newly built, two-story steel structure with a roomy 40-foot-by-100-foot footprint.
As their reputation spread, larger cranes were purchased and in 1993 the company took an SBA loan to invest in its first dry dock. It was just the second one ever in St. Thomas, after an 1844 attempt on Hassel Island."

'Fort Segarra is an underground fort, part of the United States' defense strategies during World War II. Its purpose was to help protect a submarine base on St. Thomas. The war ended before its completion and the project was subsequently abandoned. Visitors to Water Island can view gun emplacements, walk inside tunnels and visit underground rooms. The observation deck on the roof of the fort offers a great panoramic view of Water Island, the ocean and neighboring islands."
