The Search for the Grunion Blog

.

Yutaka found a photo on Flickr posted by ‘born1945′, who found a collection of Alaska photos dating from the WWII era. There are some great images in the set and I encourage you to visit ‘born1945’s Flickr account.

Could he have any other’s of interest?

Here is what Yutaka had to say about the photo:

“This is Yutaka Iwasaki .

Recently I found new and clear KANO MARU photo that beached on the Kiska Is. . It is precious photo and you may have interest concerning Alaskan history and Grunion search project.

Surely this is KANO MARU Osaka Shosen’s 6940Gton, the quarry of USS Grunion. Not Borneo Maru.”
