Long exposure of the NYK Hikawa Maru--a retired ocean liner that is permanently berthed at Yamashita Park in the Port of Yokohama serving as a floating museum. Boarding the ship will take you back to her heyday between 1930 and 1960 where she sailed between Seattle and Yokohama with cargo and passengers including members of the Japanese imperial family, Charlie Chaplin, and Babe Ruth. At the start of WWII, she aided Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. After the war, she was one of handful ships that survived the war and was converted into a cargo ship until 1953. She sailed as a cruise liner until she was decommissioned in 1960.
