Default To Hell and Back

A new friend Jamie, a diver who lives in Thailand sent me a IJN saki
bowl he salvaged from the Tattori Maru. Thats the Japanese hell ship
my Grandfather was shipped to Japan on with 1100+ other men.

The bowl arrived in 5 pieces... but I was able to glue them together
quite nicely.

The Tattori Maru was sunk by the USS Hammerhead in 43.

Not sure what to do with it. But I bet no Japanese has any relics from
this hell ship.
