Hanakawa Maru
The ship was carrying drums of gasoline and chemicals that burned after the torpedo hit, and for years the toxic cargo kept divers away. Today the topsides and masts are covered in soft and hard corals. The wreck lies far from the usual anchorages, so it is dived less often, and visibility can be murky. A short-barrelled gun is mounted on the stern.
