About Yasaka Maru

The Yasaka maru was a Japanese steam driven passenger ship. She sank on 21 December 1915 enroute from Port Said to London when she was attacked and took a hit from a German U-38 submarine under the command of Max Valentiner. At the time of her sinking, she was transporting not only passengers, but also gold sovereigns valued at $200,000. A thrilling dove with lots to explore. Here you have the chance to look for some valuble artifacts.
