DIVING TRUK LAGOON

285' (87m), 2,427-ton Cargo Ship was formerly a tramper serving the China trade. Requisitioned by Japan's Navy on December 17, 1943, she was promptly loaded with war materials and headed for Truk Lagoon via the Northeast Pass. Unfortunately, on January 7, 1944 she hit a mine intended to protect from enemy invasion and sank with the loss of five crewmen.
