History Tour - Studying the Aceh Tsunami Incident from the Tracks of Floating Ships.

Hello history lovers...
On this trip I guided fellow students from various campuses in Indonesia, they gathered in one organization, namely the Indonesian Student Association. Their study this time had the theme of tours to historical places. So, one of the various historical places they visited was the PLTD Apung Ship Museum in Banda Aceh.

So why is a ship this size categorized as historic, because this ship is proof that the tsunami that occurred in Aceh decades ago was truly terrible.
The reason is because with the tsunami event, this 2.600 ton ship which was previously in the ocean is now on land tens of kilometers from the ocean, because this ship was carried by the big tsunami waves from the ocean to the mainland of Banda Aceh.

*So, this time the students' history journey studied the tsunami event in Aceh from the existence of this floating ship which was guided by a local guide who really understood the origins of the tsunami event decades ago. This story is interesting for students who come from outside the Aceh region, they are curious about the Aceh tsunami event which previously they only saw on television news, now they have seen proof of the event directly and listened to the story of the incident in detail from local guides in the area.

*There were around 25 students who took part in this historical tour, and they came from different campuses and also lived in different cities. However, they joined the Indonesian Student organization and then went on a historical trip as a group to various historical places in Aceh.

This floating ship has been inaugurated by the local government, and has also become a historical tourist destination for all tourists who visit Aceh, this place is also categorized as the place most visited by tourists from outside the city and other areas, for visitors who If you want to enter the floating ship messium area, you can do it for free, you don't need to buy a ticket for anyone who wants to enter, it's just that at the gate of this messium there is a charity box, for those of you who want to donate money, you can donate as sincerely as possible, and the money comes from the proceeds. The charity box will be used to maintain the environment in the floating ship's mess area.

The students' visit to this floating ship was very impressive, they received detailed information about the tsunami event in Aceh, a local guide accompanied them to various points where the floating ship's machine was located and explained it in detail to all the students.

They heard many things directly from local tour guides about this floating ship which was one of the most devastating tsunami events in Aceh, they had never heard on television news about this event in such detail before, it was a very impressive trip and became historical research for them. which they will take their knowledge home to their respective campuses and tell other students about it.

So, for those of you who haven't visited Aceh, please spend your holiday and go on holiday to Aceh, there are many tourist destinations in Aceh that have an astonishing history that you should know and see firsthand, one of which is this floating ship museum.

Hopefully my short video can represent the historical story of the tsunami that occurred in Aceh decades ago, and I will tell you more in my next travel videos. Thanks for whatching....
