Hanakawa Maru

Standard-B freighter (4,793 t, launched 1943), sunk by an aerial torpedo from Bunker Hill aircraft on 17 Feb 1944 while unloading army troops off the western side of the lagoon (Pacific Wrecks says just outside it); burning gasoline drums set the surface ablaze. She sits upright with a lush growth of soft and hard corals on the masts and topsides but murky water, and gasoline still seeps. Pacific Wrecks calls her rarely dived because she is over an hour by boat from the main wrecks.

Tiefe: 3–34 m
