Wartime History
Built prior to the war, this building was occupied by the Japanese navy until late 1943, when the HQ was relocated to underground tunnels to the north. After the war, the club was rebuilt, and was again after the 1994 volcano eruption.
Today
Patches from wartime damage are visible on the walls. The club opens only a couple of times a week, but contact the Hamamas Hotel (Rabaul Hotel). Inside is a displays of wartime relics and history related to Rabaul. Some wartime relics taken from storage at Kokopo Museum are included. There are also non war time displays on the general history of Rabaul.
Steve Sunders adds:
"We still have lots of work to do on the museum, we have flora and fauna, town history, local culture etc. The old Lewis and wood peckers are going to serve as a guard of honor for the torch stand."
