This website has been created by a group of dedicated individuals with a mission to ensure those brave men who lived and served on the Islands of New Britain, New Ireland and the Surrounding Islands of the Mandated Territory of New Guinea will never be forgotten.
The purpose of this website is to create a community for relatives of those lost on the Montevideo Maru. We hope this website removes some of the geographical restrictions some people face in searching for and sharing information about the Montevideo Maru and the conflict in New Ireland and New Britain during WWII.
The other purpose of this website is to increase public awareness of Australia’s Greatest Maritime Disaster.
If you are interested in finding out more about the website and becoming involved, please do not hesitate to contact us here.
