Capital Marine Modellers' Guild: Hikawa Maru - Ocean Liner Museum

Hikawa Maru - Ocean Liner Museum - Yokohama, Japan

The Hikawa Maru is the surviving ship from a trio built for Pacific crossings between Japan and the USA in the 1930s. Built in Yokohama, it sailed from that port, and is now a floating museum ship berthed in Yokohama. She sailed from 1930 until December 1960, making 258 crossing and carrying 25000 passengers, including the Japanese royal family.

Hasegawa model company puts out two different models of the ship, including one configured as a red cross hospital ship during the Pacific War.
