Japanese aircraft carrier Katsuragi in Simpson Harbor as a repatriation ship, post-war
Simpson Harbour is a sheltered harbour of Blanche Bay, on the Gazelle Peninsula in the extreme north of New Britain. The harbour is named after Captain Cortland Simpson, who surveyed the bay while in command of HMS Blanche in 1872.[1] The former capital city of Rabaul is on its shores.
The harbour is part of a huge flooded caldera, Rabaul caldera. The harbour is ringed by a number of volcanoes.
