The Historical Context: December 1944
The Oryoku Maru was one of the most tragic of the World War II "Hellships." Departing Manila in December 1944 with over 1,600 Allied POWs crammed into its suffocating holds, the unmarked Japanese transport vessel was repeatedly attacked by American aircraft.
On December 15, the crippled ship ultimately sank in the waters of Subic Bay, right off the coast of Central Luzon. The men who perished aboard the ship, or while desperately swimming toward the nearby shores, are remembered today for their immense sacrifice. The geographical proximity of this tragedy makes local commemorative items deeply poignant, ensuring the events that took place in these local waters are never forgotten by future generations.
