Discover a bit of WW2 military history on this fascinating tour that begins with a stop at the Japanese jail and the BP Wharf, built to support the navy's large vessels, and now home to yachts and other marine craft. Photo stops include an elevated location with views over Segond Chanel, Tutuba and Aore Islands. Your guide will point out the position of the submarine nets and the sea mines that sank the SS President Coolidge, visit Euart's Memorial, named for Capt. Elwood Euart who sacrificed his life saving some men on the SS President Coolidge after it struck two mines in the harbor and sank. The next site you'll see is known as Million Dollar Point where thousands of tons of military equipment were dumped in the ocean by the US military. Today, it's a popular dive site teeming with coral-encrusted equipment scattered across the ocean floor.

Special Notes:

Wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing suited to the day's conditions. Bring a hat and adequate sun protection.
