Killick
Killick (formerly the Admiral Killick Haitian Navy base;〔''Washington Post'', ("Coast Guard cutter delivers medical supplies, help; 'we saved a lot of lives'" ) Spencer S. Hsu, 15 January 2010 (accessed 22 January 2010)〕'' also called Point Killick〔Jax Air News, ("The angel boat gets due respect" ) Jose Irazuzta, 18 February 2010 (accessed 23 February 2010)〕'') is the Haitian Coast Guard base in Port-au-Prince.〔Associated Press, ("Haiti to relocate 400,000 quake homeless" ) Lynne Sladky, 21 January 2010 (accessed 22 January 2010)〕 It is the main base for the Coast Guard.〔 It is the other port for the city, aside from the main Port international de Port-au-Prince. It is located about 10 miles outside of downtown Port-au-Prince, and is about a century old.〔 The base is named after Admiral Hammerton Killick of the Haitian Navy, who scuttled his own ship, the ''Crête-à-Pierrot'', a 940-ton screw gunship, by igniting the magazine, and went down with the ship, instead of surrendering to German forces, in 1902, at Gonaïves, Haiti.

The base is approximately an acre in size.〔''Keys Net'', ("Key West-based 'Mohawk' crew: 'We felt their pain' in Haiti" ) Sean Kinney, 27 January 2010 (accessed 28 January 2010)〕
The port facilities at Killick are able to handle boats of up to 40-footers.〔''Miami Herald'', ("Haiti seaport damage complicates relief efforts" ) Martha Brannigan Crline, 14 January 2010 (accessed 22 January 2010)〕 There were two piers, a north pier and a south pier. The north pier was destroyed in the 12 January 2010 quake.〔
A heliport is attached to the base.〔''Daily Press'', ("From Little Creek, USS Gunston Hall makes a lifesaving detour" ) Hugh Lessig, 22 January 2010 (accessed 23 January 2010)〕
