Josh Gates Explores a Massive Japanese Shipwreck from World War II | Expedition Unknown | Discovery

[Music]
Jos there’s something I want you to say
copy that I’m right behind you
Josh uh do you see that bottom cut
you de view yeah I’m almost on top of it
that’s not the SE floor that’s the side of a ship
side of a ship how is that possible
it’s all I can see

[Music]
it’s enormous oh my word
Josh you’re hovering above the H and Maru,
the largest bre in TR Lagoon
there it is on the side, look at that haon

[Music]
Maru this started out as a huge passenger lighter
we got converted to a submarine tender during the war
almost twice as long as the Statue of Liberty is tall
this Behemoth was sent to the bottom of truck Lagoon
by two pairs of bombs from American aircraft
that’s the propeller
yeah it’s about as big as my house
oh that is terrifying
yeah the propeller gives you an idea of how big this ship actually

[Music]
is what do you see the inside of this
all right here we go
remember she’s lying on our port side
so it’s easy to get disoriented
I’ll stay

[Music]
close
we swim along a now sideways deck
that stretches the length of the ship
it’s disorienting as what feels like the floor below
is a wall dotted with Windows leading to the ship’s interior
yeah do you see those long tubes beneath you
I do what are those
those are spare submarine periscopes
unbelievable that is crazy
it is Pitch Black in here, it’s so Eerie
everywhere you point your light you just see Twisted Metal
going off into the darkness
yeah be careful what you touch Mark
what are these cylinders
those are submarine Torpedoes
uh I wouldn’t touch those
Mark, are those Torpedoes
