Hangares was the location of the first hydroplanes base in Portugal and the name remained. There are no traces of the original facilities, mostly build in wood. The Navy kept using the island for a long time, for military exercises and ammo storage but due to the increasing presence of civilians in the area it gradually withdrew. There are still some facilities on the spot though and on the nearby pier some art referring to individual patrol boats was draw.
