Another Story from Morotai Island

Morotai – An island located in the most northern part of North Maluku province, Morotai was part of the Ternate Sultanate - a vassal of the Dutch East India Company at the end of the 17th century. The word ‘Morotai’ originates from Morotia – the dwelling place of the moro people, who are mysterious and invisible men, believed to live in an invisible town marked by the site of Batu Kopi on the remote island of Posiposi-Rao. In 1942 during World War II, Morotai was invaded by Japan. Between 1943 - 1944, there were over 200,000 members of the US forces and their allies who reached Morotai prior to the Battle of Morotai in 1944; leaving many remnants of the war, such as 2 rusty amphibean tanks, 7 airstrips, army dock, shipwrecks and a great many other war relics still waiting to be unearthed. Morotai was also the millitary base for the Allied Forces in the efforts to free the Philippines. Located strategically close to Palau island and the Phillippines, and nestled between the Pacific Ocean, Sulawesi Sea, Halmahera Sea and Morotai Strait; Morotai regency comprises 33 islands, of which seven are inhabited; and boasts a coastline with clean, white sands and reef beaches.
