Lampulo Boat on the House

Kapal di Atas Rumah

A fishing boat that was left on the roof of a two-story house by the tsunami. Fifty-nine people were rescued on board, and the site has been preserved as a memorial.

This wooden fishing boat, about 25 meters long, was swept out of Lampulo fishing harbor during the tsunami and came to rest on the roof of a house. Fifty-nine people climbed aboard and survived. The house and boat have been preserved in place, with added stairs and a viewing platform. Panels nearby tell the stories of the survivors. Entry is free, and donations are welcome. It is located near the fishing harbor in northern downtown, so you can visit the Lampulo fish market on the way.
