Heian Maru Wreck
平安丸
One of the largest wrecks in the lagoon, once a luxury liner later converted to a submarine tender, lying on its side with periscopes and torpedoes still aboard
Built in 1930 as a luxury passenger liner for Japan's NYK line, it originally sailed the Yokohama–Seattle route. During the war it was converted into a submarine support ship. The wreck is about 155 m long and lies on its port side at about 33 m depth, while the shallowest point on its starboard side is about 12 m. The Japanese name Heian Maru is still legible on the hull, and periscopes, torpedoes and submarine parts remain inside. It suits experienced divers, and usually two dives are needed to see it all.
