LOTD: Dalap
(from: http://www.ibiblio.org/lighthouse/fsm.htm)
Dalap (Dalaap, Yap)
1941. Apparently this lighthouse was never activated due to the onset of World War II. Another concrete Japanese lighthouse, this one in ruins; it was blown up by Japanese forces late in 1944 because it was attracting too much attention from American bombers. Some additional photos are available (about 3/4 of the way down the page), and Google has a satellite view of the site. The Todai Youth Club has posted a history of the lighthouse (.pdf file). Dalap is a hill in the Gagil municipality on the eastern side of the Yap Main Islands group. Located at the highest point of the hill; accessible by a hiking trail. Site open. ARLHS MIC-003.
(sorry - no decent photo available)
