Kanton island ,Central Kiribati prt.1 by T33T

[@thomasvanhooser7733]

I was working on Canton Is. In the 70's in support of SAMTEC OL. Enjoyed the time there.

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Our family lived there for a few years, during which time I was born. Our house was at 4 Palm Way. Likely in ruins now, if anything of it remains at all.

Do you think you’ll ever go back?

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

@@JamesAH1 Wish I could, but it's not likely.

[@tebaomarotita5427]

this brings me back to Kanton island in 2007 when our father worked as a police man in Kanton, there are a few people who came to work on it and they becoming one family miss the memories on Kanton

Why China really want to develop Kanton?.....for the benefit of Kiribati or China's own interest?...

[@derekbentley196]

China isn't a charity.

[@tavo3234]

That's a lot of material for a population of 24...

[@mrltnpapi]

I wanna go visit there. Is it possible?

[@johnwayne1464]

Isla sagrada

[@johnwayne1464]

Or a fat lot going on there

Thank you for posting this. Looks beautiful and interesting. I believe some of the buildings and the airstrip were built during WW2. I keep seeing China in relation to this island, but the United Kingdom and the USA are in “control” of this precious atoll. Would love to know what the occupants/population think about this situation. Thanks again 🙏🏻😊

Why nobody is living in this island ??

[@etikaterrence9632]

There's heaps of people out there but they just only shot the bushes and all that..

[@neptunesjester4145]

there are about 54 people residing on Canton in 2019. no at of the Kiribati islands are sparsely populated, moat stay on the main island.
