 SS Kiche Maru

The SS "Kiche Maru" was a Japanese steamship that sank during a typhoon on 22 September 1912.Although more than 1,000 died, the disaster has long been overshadowed by the earlier loss (on 15 April 1912) of the RMS "Titanic", and by the fact that "Kiche Maru" was one of hundreds of naval calamities caused by a tropical storm in Southern Japan.
