Description

Launched in 1929, the Japanese liner Hikawamaru represented ocean travel at its most luxurious. The "Queen of the Pacific" was as famous for her exquisite art deco interiors and four-star cuisine as she was for celebrity passengers like Charlie Chaplin. During WWII the Hikawamaru served as a hospital ship. By 1961, she had become a floating museum ship. She was fully restored to her former glory in 2007.
