The Shipwreck
The shipwreck of the Uranami has not yet been found, although Kinu was discovered by divers from the USS Chanticleer (ASR-7) on 15 July 1945 in about 150 ft (50 m) of water. Uranami sank about 13 miles (21 km) away, and is probably at a similar depth, which would place it within the reach of technical divers.

Famous quotes containing the word shipwreck:
“For the bright side of the painting I had a limited sympathy. My visions were of shipwreck and famine; of death or captivity among barbarian hordes; of a lifetime dragged out in sorrow and tears, upon some gray and desolate rock, in an ocean unapproachable and unknown.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
