It took part in the mission together with Dutch deep-sea survey specialists Fugro and Australia\u2019s Defense Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe extraordinary effort behind this discovery speaks for the enduring truth of Australia\u2019s solemn national promise to always remember and honour those who served our country,\u201d Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said. \u201cThis is the heart and the spirit of Lest We Forget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Montevideo Maru was transporting prisoners and civilians who were captured after the fall of Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. The ship was not marked as carrying POWs, and on July 1, 1942, the <a href=\"https:\/\/uboat.net\/allies\/warships\/ship\/2939.html\" target=\"_blank\">American submarine Sturgeon<\/a>, after stalking the ship through the night, fired four torpedoes, which found their target, sinking the vessel in less than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those killed included 1,080 people from 14 nations, including 979 Australians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFamilies waited years for news of their missing loved ones, before learning of the tragic outcome of the sinking,\u201d said Silentworld director John Mullen. \u201cSome never fully came to accept that their loved ones were among the victims. Today, by finding the vessel, we hope to bring closure to the many families devastated by this terrible disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explorers found a sunken Japanese ship that was transporting Allied prisoners of war when it was torpedoed off the coast of the Philippines in 1942.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":108064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":12,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,23,93,12,25],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1351],"class_list":["post-70164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"NXRWS3BCJ5E3NOC4E6QFN72DZ4","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/2023\/04\/23\/explorers-find-wwii-ship-sunk-with-over-1000-allied-pows\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
