Floated Ashore by a Tsunami - The Astonishing Story of the PLTD Apung 1 in Banda Aceh

I'd visited the fascinating PLTD Apung 1 Museum once already. Unfortunately, due to a variety of circumstances, I got there late, and I had only 30 minutes to do a quick walk-through. If the museum consisted only of the ship itself, perhaps that would have been enough. But to my surprise, I discovered that the interior of the ship had been converted into an actual museum with multiple exhibits.

So, on this day, I returned to PLTD Apung 1 making sure that I had enough time to do a deep dive into all the exhibits. I'm very glad I did so because this was my kind of museum: jammed with specific practical information about the 2004 tsunami and how this ship ended up on land kilometers away from the shoreline and the ocean.
