It is inhabited by the Tabar people.[1] GeographyTabar Island is the main island of the Tabar Islands and forms part of the New Ireland Province. It is located approximately 900 km north east of Port Moresby and about 24 km northeast of the province's main island New Ireland. The island is of volcanic origin and has an area of about 110 km² with a length of about 20 km and about 9 km wide. The highest altitude is approximately 400 m above sea level. Tabar Island is the largest and southernmost island in the archipelago. The population is mainly divided into a few villages along the coast and the island's interior is covered mostly by rainforest. The main town of Datava is located on the island's northern part at Koko Bay . The islands can only be reached by ship as they do not have an airport, the neighboring Tatau Island is on the other side of the barely distant canal that separates the islands. HistoryThe island has probably been inhabited by melanesians since about 1500 BC. It was discovered by Dutch captains Jacob Le Maire and Willem Corneliszoon Schouten in June 1616 and then named "Gardner Islands". They were later rediscovered by Abel Tasman who then dubbed the area to the "Visser Islands". The area ended in 1885 under German sovereignty as part of German New Guinea. The area was managed initially by the German New Guinea Company. After the First World War, the area ended up under Australian control, and Australia later became officially mandated for the entire Bismarck Archipelago by the United Nations. From 1942 to 1945, the area was occupied by Japan, but returned to the Australian government mandate until Papua New Guinea became independent in 1975. Carl Emil Pettersson, a Swedish sailor who was shipwrecked and landed on the island in 1904, became its king (nicknamed "Strong Charly") after his marriage to the daughter of a local chief.[2]References1. ^{{cite book|last=Slone|first=Thomas H.|title=One Thousand One Papua New Guinean Nights: Folktales from Wantok Newspapers: Volume 1 Tales from 1972-1985|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fnU8bVdiGtEC&pg=PA148|accessdate=31 December 2012|date=1 September 2001|publisher=Masalai Press|isbn=978-0-9714127-0-5|page=148}} {{Islands of Papua New Guinea}}{{PapuaNewGuinea-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/buecher/pippi-langstrumpfs-vater-knallkuss-aus-einer-fernen-welt-1163570.html|title=Pippi Langstrumpfs Vater: Knallkuß aus einer fernen Welt|last=Weidermann|first=Volker|date=16 May 2004|work=Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung|language=German|accessdate=22 January 2013}} 1 : Islands of Papua New Guinea |
