Cape St George
Cape St. George is the southernmost point on the island of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, at 4°51′00″S 152°52′37″E / 4.850°S 152.877°ECoordinates: 4°51′00″S 152°52′37″E / 4.850°S 152.877°E. It was the namesake for the Battle of Cape St. George, fought on 26 November 1943, between New Ireland and Buka.
During the Pacific War the Japanese used the Cape to watch out for American bombers from Guadalcanal heading towards Rabaul. The concrete bunker they built is still there. From information gathered from men from Lambom Village who are the traditional land owners and most of whom have either died or are now very old and who were forced to work for the Japanese, the Japanese commander/officer-in-charge during the war was called Kato. Apart from its association with the war in the Pacific and particularly in the New Guinea Islands region, "Cape St. George" is traditionally known in the local Siar language as Lain Silou - this is in reference to its protruding point into the outer sea and the fact that it is quite dangerous during rough seas to ships sailing past/around it.
