words from the world

With the signing of the armistice proclaiming the end of World War II, the Americans were in a hurry to go back home. The world from now on went in peace, they found themselves with a set of useless not to say cumbersome military equipments. In the middle of a beach, east from Luganville, they built a bridge then brought trucks, cranes and jeeps and jettisoned them. Before definitively going home, they exploded the bridge leaving a submarine junkyard behind them, the « Million Dollar Point ». And nowadays, we can dive on this heap of concretion-covered scrap iron. This time, a weird, off-the-beaten-track dive.
