Image of the Day 2-10-12 Unkai Maru Shipwreck



The murky deep is strangely beautiful.

This is a photo taken inside the engine room of the shipwrecked Unkai Maru. It was built in 1905 by the W. Grey Shipyard of England and sold in 1911 to the Nakamura Kisen Line for use by the Japanese Navy as a general cargo transport. It was sunken during WWII after being struck by the planes of the U.S.S. Bunker Hill and the U.S.S. Yorktown.
