The Gun on the Bow of the Fujikawa Maru

The Fujikawa Maru was, without a doubt, one of the most interesting shipwrecks at Truk Lagoon.

This barely recognizeable 5" cannon on the Fujikawa's bow shows how overgrown the outer parts of this wreck have become.

The Fujikawa Maru carried airplanes and munitions in it's cargo holds, and interesting artifacts could be found virtually anywhere on the ship.

This is the cockpit of a Japanese Zero in one of the forward holds.
