About Ogata Juryobutsu Umpansen

Many guns of battleships or battle cruisers were made redundant in accordance with the Washington Treaty. IJA was planned to use these guns as fortress cannons. Seishu Maru was built for transporting such guns to the fortlesses. She was equiped with a 150-ton crane and a 20-ton crane. After completing her initial task, she was employed as a salvage ship.
