A team of explorers have discovered the wreck of the Montevideo Maru, a Japanese ship that was torpedoed off the coast of the Philippines in 1942, resulting in Australia’s largest maritime wartime loss of 1,080 lives. Located at a depth of over 13,120 feet, the Silentworld Foundation is now working with the Australian government to protect and respect the site, as well as create a memorial to commemorate the lives lost.
