Ship History During the Pacific War, requisition by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) or Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). Sinking History Sunk during the Pacific War into the Buka Passage to the east of Buka Town, not as far down the coast as the stern out of the water shipwreck. Shipwreck This shipwreck rests on its side on a 60' bottom. Known locally as "On its side shipwreck". Shirley Cook dove the wreck: "Got crockery and chopsticks from the galley, and antlers, ash tray, inkwell and vase from the Captain's cabin. David said it was the Captain's cabin as Japanese captains had the habit of Deer shooting and keeping the antlers in their cabin. This wreck was only in 60' of water (to the bottom) so it was a great all day dive. Also got a round porthole." References Thanks to Shirley Cook for additional information Contribute
