| Located in the north, is the site of Tweed's cave. After the Japanese Imperial Forces took Guam, Navy Radioman First Class George Tweed escaped Japanese capture with the help of several local families, some of which gave their lives protecting his secrete location. He was important to the WW II cause because he could communicate with U.S. forces and give them valuable information about Japanese installations on Guam. It is for this reason that the Japanese were relentless in his pursuit. After two and a-half years of hiding from the Japanese with the help of the Chamorros, Tweed escaped the island and swam to an American destroyer off the coast of Guam. His information proved to be valuable in the recapturing of Guam. |
