Kyoryoku Eisen

About Kyoryoku Eisen

Direct translation is a powered tug for Kyoryoku Eisen. "Senkai Maru No.1", "Uraga Maru No.2", "Wajima Maru" and "Tsushima Maru" were initially called Shojokisen (Small Steamers) but I list them in Kyoryoku Eisen on basis of the report (Kisen Shiyo jyoken no ken hokoku, JACAR: C01004463000) in 1938. "Shokai Maru" and "Eikai Maru" were small escorts. "Hokka Maru", "Nankai Maru" and "Tokai Maru" were rescue tugs.
