For the NYPOE being such a vast operation in the midst of WWII, one would expect this handbook to show up frequently but is quite rare. The NYPOE was by far the largest of the Army Ports of Embarkation and at the close of 1944, aside from the embarkation camps, controlled piers with berths for 100 oceangoing vessels, 4,895,000 square feet of transit shed space, 5,500,000 square feet of warehouse space and 13,000,000 square feet of open storage and working space. By August 1945 3,172,778 passengers and 37,799,955 measurement tons of cargo had passed through NYPOE. With the total for all ports being 7,293,354 passengers and 126,787,875 tons of cargo this put the NYPOE at 44% of all troops and 34% of all cargo passing through Army Ports of Embarkation. During the war 85 percent of men and material headed to the European theater passed through the NYPOE.Handbook Measures 4 x 5 Inches. In Good Condition: General Wear.
