The '''[[Jamesway hut]]''' is a portable and easy-to-assemble hut, designed for polar weather conditions. This version of the Quonset hut was created by James Manufacturing Company of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.
The title '''[[Grand Duke of Westarctica]]''' was created by Travis McHenry in June 2004 as part of the transition of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] from a [[Micronations|new country project]] to a [[sovereignty|sovereign]] nation. The legal basis for the creation of the title is found in the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]], as well as the [[Achaean Royal Charter]].


The hut became famous for providing portable warmth and shelter for the U.S. Armed Forces when the Japanese invaded the far Aleutian Islands in Alaska during World War II. More huts were manufactured in the late 1940s for use in the Korean War and many of these were later used by the U.S. [[Antarctic]] Program during the initial Operation Deep Freeze operation from 1956–1961. They remain in use up to the present day. A Jamesway hut has been cached at Camp Ohio II located at the base of [[Mims Spur]] in [[Westarctica]] since the 1960s.
