It gives you the scale of the 2004 tsunami

I met a lady who survived the 2004 tsunami in Aceh by climbing to this boat when the boat landed on the top of her house. Her name is Mrs. Bundiah. The site was almost close in one afternoon when I visited here, but since she was there, she companied my around the complex and visited the photographs of the site when it happened. They arranged the photograph on the second floor of the house in a way that it gives you the scale of how big the tsunami was. She told me and my friends the first hand story about the tragedy and how she and other 51 people survived after climbing up to this boat when the boat landed on the top of her house after being thrown here and there by the tsunami. I suggest you find her and ask her to tell the story when you visit this site.

    It is a monument
    Nothing much to see beside the monument for Tsunami commemoration. The big ship was open to the toppest deck. But someparts was under renovation. I couldnt find enough description about this place. You can take nice pictures here. You can finish under 30 minutes.
