The Hanakawa Maru |
|
The Hanakawa Maru was loaded
with a cargo of aviation gas and was set on fire by a torpedo. Traces of
fire damage can be seen on the bridge. This ship is located a few
hundred yards from shore near the south east end of Tol Island. Marine
growth, hard and soft corals & fan corals are thick here. A telegraph
can be found near the center top of the bridge superstructure. There are
a fair amount of artifacts still on the ship. |
