South Korea's New Merchant Marine Academy

The expansion of South Korea's merchant marine fleet is essential to the development of that country's commerce. The departure of the Japanese left the Republic with few ships and few trained mariners. A Merchant Marine Academy exists, but cannot provide satisfactory training. The United Nation Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) has undertaken to build and equip an 18-building Academy at Yong-do, near Pusan, and has provided a Marine Science officer to supervise the construction and commence classes. As of December 1954, the buildings were nearing completion, weekly classes were being held at the old Academy, and textbooks had arrived.
Here is a view of the site of the New Academy, showing the various buildings under construction. [No exact date]
