A front for the Chinese navy tried to buy the islands around Havana harbour off Vanuatu. Havana harbour is a natural deep water harbour.Lelepa is part of that harbour . Uncle Sam and the Australian government lobbied the Vanuatu government to block it. A bit off subject BUT. Also at the time the Chinese where going to connect Vanuatu to the undersea telecommunications grid .Because it was a threat to Australia-US security ASIO and CIA diverted foreign aid and the Americans are doing it . Enter Royal Caribbean onto the stage. I think there’s going to be some foreign aid involved. wouldn't be the first time action happens in one area due to other reasons.

Wonder was already in progress so bit difficult when it's a 3rd party who has other bookings; they can't just leave the ship blocking the ship yard. Here contracts are also signed, but it's all in their control, there's no other party needing the island if they delay building progress. They could choose to continue, but given funds are tight I'm sure it's been parked to save money until cash flow improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder what happened all those years ago You do wonder David. A lot of the islands had people coming and going,they must have been brave. One of the most interesting is Pohnpei in Micronesia.it dates back to about a similar time. Its a half sunken city made of huge stones from somewhere else. Somehow they transported them and made a town like Venice in the middle of nowhere. And you wonder why did the leave? What happened to them? Heres a map of the town it’s about 3-4 square kilometres dating back 2000 years or more. Edited September 18, 2020 by Chiliburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
