CONSTRUCTED DURING THE 1936 ARAB DISORDERS TO ENABLE JEWISH MERCHANTS TO AVOID THE ARAB-STRUCK JAFFA PORT, THE NEW HARBOR HAS BEEN MAKING RAPID PROGRESS BUT HAS BEEN LIMITED AS TO THE CARGOES THAT COULD BE UNLOADED. A JETTY AND LIGHTERS ARE USED FOR UNLOADING INCOMING SHIPS. CONSIDERABLE AMERICAN MONEY IS BEING INVESTED IN IMPROVING THE PORT.
