Australia says discovery of WW2 wreck ends ‘tragic’ maritime chapter FMTNews FMTWorld
The SS Montevideo Maru, an unmarked prisoner of war transport vessel, had been missing after it went down in July 1942.
Marles said the SS Montevideo Maru, an unmarked prisoner of war transport vessel missing since being sunk off the Philippines’ coast in July 1942, had been discovered northwest of Luzon island. The long-awaited find comes ahead of April 25 commemorations for Anzac Day, a major day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand for their troops killed in all military conflicts.
The search for the wreck, found at a depth of more than 4,000m was led by a maritime archaeology not-for-profit and deep-sea survey specialists, and supported by Australia’s defence department, according to the government.
