ww2dbaseLuxury ocean liner Hikawa Maru was built and operated by Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK). Her maiden voyage began on 13 May 1930, sailing from Kobe, Japan to Seattle, Washington, United States. In the 1930s, she had hosted many celebrities, such as Charlie Chaplin (British actor) and Jigoro Kano (founder of Judo). In 1940 and 1941, her passengers included some of the Jews who were able to escape from Germany; she was the first Japanese ship to carry Jewish refugees across the Pacific to North America. After the start of the Pacific War, she was converted into a hospital ship. For the duration of the war, she was commanded by naval surgeons. She was detected by American submarines on several occasions during the war, but her hospital ship markings saved her from being attacked. On 15 Jun 1942, during her third voyage as a hospital ship, she tended to about 500 survivors of the Battle of Midway, delivered to her by cruiser Nagara. After the Japanese surrender, she was pressed into American service and was used to bring Japanese troops back to Japan from various Pacific islands. In 1947, she returned to Japanese civilian service. In 1954, she underwent a major refit. On 21 Dec 1960, she was taken out of service due to the growing popularity of air travel. In 1961, she became a floating youth hostel, museum, and restaurant at Yokohama, Japan. Today she remains at Yokohama as a museum ship.
