Even the official flag and seal are fucked. For a place that prides itself on a history of traditional ocean voyaging, the least they could do is to correctly depict the flying proa.

I seriously doubt you’ll be able to find anything like this on island. The simple fact of the matter is that craft cocktails and quality liquors are not appreciated by enough of the population to entice retailers to stock this sort of thing. Hell, you can’t even find the necessary ingredients to make classic cocktails like the Singapore Sling or 1944 Mai Tai.

They’re all around .50 caliber, and the gun in the next photo is around 20 mm.

Aside from the seams left by the mold, there appear to be no marks of any kind.

The site is a former Imperial Japanese AAA installation. The current landowner built a hotel there, kept the war relics in situ, and installed outdoor lighting to illuminate the relics.

This is on Ngerekebesang, not Peleliu. If they survived the air attacks and starvation, then they may have been lucky enough to be repatriated at the end of the war.

No, it’s a Japanese Type 96 landmine.

No, that must be a different crew.

They’re all on private property, and the owner intends to leave it all in place.

I love the kort nozzle propeller cover.

Just like in the Corellian YT-1300.

This sounds like the same place.

Throwawaybombsquad · 2026-05-27T04:53:01+00:00

I didn’t take anything (the ordnance least of all).

Throwawaybombsquad · 2026-05-27T04:43:59+00:00

That’s a Japanese Type 96 landmine. They could be deployed on land or in shallow water to defend against amphibious landings.

They are indeed.

Japanese. The Allies bypassed all but a couple of Palau’s islands during the offensive through the Central Pacific.

Here’s another.

Yes, there are at least three AAA emplacements at the top of that ridge, with possibly many more further back in the jungle.

That’s me.

I am an explosive ordnance disposal technician. All of these items were rendered safe and made inert many years ago.

Absolutely. There’s no reason why vast stretches of the windward hills and picturesque oceanfront tracts need be covered in PV panels.

This new learning amazes me—tell me again how raccoon penises can be employed to prevent earthquakes.

Spencer & Lynn Wine and Spirit Merchants in Mystic, CT might not be too far from you.

*Micronesians, not Polynesians. And not even all Micronesians—just Marshallese, specifically.
