Sinking History
While at Truk Lagoon, this cargo ship was attacked by nine planes from USS Bunker Hill. Hit by a 1,000 lbs bomb and a solid torpedo hit. She burned and quickly sunk on February 17, 1944.

Shipwreck
Oil and aviation fuel still leak from the wreck lying at a 45 degree list to the port side. The No.1 hold contains only a few crushed 55 gallon drums and there is a large car too. There is a 10 foot long aileron (paravane) used for mine sweeping hanging off the port side. There is a large hole from the torpedo hit on the starboard side of the hold. At the stern is the intacted deck gun and burned planking. The ship's safe was salvaged in recent time, but its contents were not publicized.
