IJN Yanagi Breakwater - Kitakyushu, Japan

Some ships live forever. Here is a breakwater in Kitakyushu, Japan that was partially made by the wreck of IJN Yanagi. Apparently part of the ship was open to the public for some time, but due to metal theft and a typhoon it was eventually closed. This is what remains. Link to the location on Pacific History Guide here.

I’m always looking for cool things like this. If you know of some more sites like the IJN Yanagi breakwater in Kitakyushu, send me a link!
