What Remains of the St. Matthew LORAN Station
Detailed Description
The St. Matthew Island LORAN station began operation by the Coast Guard on July 10, 1944. The station closed on September 13, 1946. Although equipment was removed from the island a few years after the station was closed, large and heavy objects were left behind, including this toilet, which stands in nearly pristine condition.
