Anyo Maru (安洋丸) was a Japanese passenger liner.
She was built at a Mitsubishi shipyard from September 1911 to June 1913.[1] She was initially operated by Toyo Kisen Kaisha (TKK).[2] TKK built the vessel so she could take Asian immigrants to Pacific coast South American countries.[1]
In 1916 there was an incident where Crook collided with the ship while fog had occurred. This incident happened off of Lime Point outside of San Francisco.[3]
In 1921 it sailed into the harbor of Portland, Oregon, making it the largest ship at that time to visit that harbor.[4]
In 1926 the ship was transferred to NYK Line.[5]
On January 8, 1945, a United States submarine, in the course of World War II, caused Anyo Maru to sink.[6]
