Aloha Everyone,


This was among my grandfathers papers


He was a guest aboard His Imperial Japanese Majesty's Ship ASAMA, veteran of the Russo-Japanese war, in New York harbor two weeks before the stock market crash in 1929.


Check out the name of the host.


Vice-Admiral K. Nomura


He became the Japanese ambassador to Washington in December 1941 who delivered the 'dastardly' message to Cordell Hull too late.....

Salvage, That's a fantastic family-connection piece.

Here's a photo of Asama making a visit to New Zealand in the 1920's.
