Bicycles on The Kiyozumi Maru

The Kiyozumi Maru, a 450 ft. long, six hold freighter/passenger liner, lies on it's port side, 100 ft. deep.

Among the more interesting cargo on the Kiyozumi were these bicycles in the #4 hold.

I've seen more recent photos of these bicycles, 1990s, and there was virtually nothing left of them. I'm sure by now they are are completely gone, disintegrated into the sea, existing only in photos and memories.

Lantern Locker on The Kiyozumi Maru

These lanterns were in a locker in the forecastle.
