BLOTTED OUT
BY ALLIED BOMBERS FORMERLY BUSY PORT OF FERRYVILLE. SUPPLY TRAFFIC ENDED. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.0 a.m.) RUGBY, April 16. “Aerial photographs show that the entire dockyard area of Ferryville (at the south-western corner of Bizerta Lake), which is most important to the Axis for supplies, has been devastated by the Allies’ strategic air force,” says a North African correspondent. The traffic of this once busy port is non-existent. Cargo landing facilities were severely damaged by Flying Fortresses on March 23. Every building in the dockyard area has been rendered useless and the few buildings left standing are roofless. Four of the six oil storage tanks in the area have been blocked out.
