Wreck Dive
Million Dollar Point, Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
View Original Description
Pacific Island beach with rusty WWII US military hardware & off-shore wreckage for scuba diving. Apparently at the end of the war, the equipment which was too expensive to ship back to the US was up for sale pennies on the dollar. The British and French did not want to pay expecting that the US would leave and they could just scoop it all up for free. So the US decided to amass all of the equipment on a pier and blow it up. Then bulldoze whatever was left into the ocean.
