Mashu Maru was a train ferry connecting Aomori Station and Hakodate Station. It linked the Japan National Railway line across the ocean strait between Honshu and Hokkaido.
|
|
Mashu Maru is now a museum ship at Hakodate Port's new Wakamatsu Dock. It was moved here in Feb. 2020. This dock is also used by luxury cruise ships. (Nippon Maru is on the left.)
|
|
It was built in 1964 and sailed from 1965 to March 1988 when the Seikan railway tunnel opened.
