Encyclopedia: Attu Station, Alaska Attu Station is a town located on Attu Island in the Aleutians West Census Area, Alaska. Attu Station is located at 52°50'47" North, 173°11'10" East (52.846331, 173.186142) After the Japanese invasion of Attu Island and the battle to retake it, the United States government decided to construct a LORAN station on the southern tip of the island, at Theodore Point. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Attu-Station,-Alaska

Attu Homepage Attu is about 20 by 35 miles in size, and is today the home of a small number of U. Coastguard personnel operating a Loran station. Attu, the westernmost Aleutian island, is nearly 1,100 miles from the Alaskan mainland and 750 miles northeast of the northernmost of the Japanese Kurile Islands. Attu was occupied in June of 1942 by the Japanese, and was the site of some of the bloodiest fighting during W.W.II (second only to Iwo Jima) commencing on "D-Day," 11 May 1943. www.hlswilliwaw.com /aleutians/attu-homepage.htm

Attu, Theodore Pt. Attu is the western-most island of the Aleutian Island chain. Attu is is approximately 40 miles east to west and 18 miles north to south. However, except for continuously broken sleep as I maintained the radio watch for one man at sea, conveniently scheduled for Atlantic-based ships (meaning most of my watches fell during Attu's 10 pm and 4 am), being a radioman had its advantages as I could keep in contact with friends who were also radiomen. www.poradek.com /attu.htm

The End of the World The Army ruled Attu, now called Camp Earle on official maps (for Edward P. Earle, the first high-ranking officer killed in the fighting), though only until 1945, when the Navy took possession, running picket radar flights from the airfields at Massacre Bay and Alexai Point until 1958. Of the hundreds of structures the Navy built in the '40s and '50s, besides the new Loran station, only the old Loran station and its mess hall on Murder Point are still inhabitable. The birders have been coming for as long as anyone at the station remembers, but rumor has it that Attours, worried that the Coast Guard might really pull out, may fold soon, leaving only the German tour boat the World Discoverer to bring birders and veterans out twice a summer. www.stewart-onan.com /html/the_end_of_the_world.html

When you are on Attu, you can expect to hear a plane about twice a month, and the odds are you'll never see a ship. www.attu.com

HistoryLink Encyclopedia Search Results The deactivation of the Sand Point Naval Air Station on Lake Washington in Northeast Seattle set off a years-long, bitter debate over uses for the land. Eventually, 195.6 acres were transferred to the City of Seattle, and 100 acres became the Western Headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
