Why this spot

US forces bulldozed vast surplus stocks of trucks, cranes, bulldozers and stores off a Seabee-built ramp near Luganville in 1945 to 1946 rather than sell them

The dumping and today's snorkel-depth wreckage are documented in Espiritu Santo Naval Base accounts; artifacts are seen on every visit
