Cape Gloucester

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gloucester Island, Australia was erroneously named "Cape Gloucester" by British explorer James Cook in 1770. The name "Cape Gloucester" has also been used for areas on or near Gloucester Island.

Cape Gloucester (also known as Tuluvu) is a headland, in the northwest of the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea, at 5.45° S 148.4166667° E. It was the site of the Battle of Cape Gloucester, part of Operation Cartwheel, in 1943.
