The name of this ship is not settled. One list once gave the name of a Japanese ship that actually sank somewhere else. What is more often said, from local accounts, is a Dutch cargo ship from the end of the war, about 60 m long. The ship stands upright on the sand. The port anchor chain runs out under the hull, about 15 m from the ship, but the anchor is missing. The starboard anchor is still hoisted. There is a dent and a tear in the port hull. The lifeboat davits on the port side are not lowered. On the starboard side the davits are extended. The steam pipes have broken and lie beside the starboard side.
Descend from the buoy to the bow. The bow is about 22 m, and some accounts say 20 m or 24 m. The stern is about 41 m, and some accounts say 37 m or 40 m. The map lists 22–41 m. The propeller is still visible on the bottom. Bottom time is short. Hard coral, soft coral, and large sponges cover the steel. Ascend slowly toward the nearby reef.
Batfish and barracuda school on the ship. Snapper and groupers are on the structure. Large pufferfish often sleep in the cargo holes. Reef sharks pass now and then. Entry is by boat.
