It’s a hot, tiring job, but the making of copra is one of the few ways Marshallese on the outer islands can make money. There are many steps in taking a coconut from a tree and turning it into sellable products, and one of the most important is undertaken by the Tobolar Copra Processing Authority at its plant in Majuro. Its main product is crude coconut oil and ‘press cake’ (the solid remains after pressing out the liquid). These are marketed through brokerage and are exported to various international buyers. In recent times Tobolar has expanded its products to include bar soap, ‘beauty’ oil, and cooking oil.

Many said it would be impossible to reach Mili in Earhart's plane, but Dick Spink claims this fuel report proves it would have been possible - lending more credence to their claims. Photo: Karen Earnshaw
U.S. businessman Jerry Kramer also heard Amram's story of treating Noonan for a broken leg on a Japanese boat -- and was even shown where she was jailed in Saipan by people who swore she was there. Photo: Karen Earnshaw
These are other pieces of metal found on Mili. Most have been discounted as not coming from Earhart's plane, but the long piece of metal on the left may be significant. Photo: Dick Spink
