Description

Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK Line) Suwa Maru-class 12,000-ton passenger/cargo ship Fushimi Maru was built by Mitsubishi in Nagasaki and launched in 1914.  It was probably named for the Fushimi Inari Grand Shrine (伏見稲荷大社) in Kyoto, site of the famous 10,000 red torii.  Fushimi Maru served as a Pacific Ocean liner until World War II, when it was pressed into Imperial Japanese Navy service as a military transport.  The IJN lost yet another transport on February 1, 1943, when U.S. Navy submarine USS Tarpon (SS-175) torpedoed and sank Fushimi Maru off the coast of Japan.  This model of Fushimi Maru was donated to the Mariners Museum in Newport News, Virginia.
