In 1941 the M.S. Hie Maru was a passenger and cargo ship of the Orient-Vancouver-Seattle Line. During WWII it was requisitioned by the Imperial Japanese Navy and converted into a submarine depot ship. The Hie Maru was torpedoed and sunk in the Pacific, near the Truk Naval base in November, 1943. In January 1938 a plot to sink the Hie Maru in Seattle harbor failed when the perpetrator drowned. He wanted to protest against Japan’s invasion of China by sinking Japanese ships carrying scrap metal and other war materials back to Japan.
