The wreck of the Montevideo Maru, a Japanese transport ship that sank in World War II and claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Allied prisoners-of-war on board, has been discovered in the deep waters of the South China Sea.
The ship was sunk in 1942 by torpedoes from an American submarine, which didn't realize it was carrying prisoners; many of the dead were Australians, making the sinking the deadliest sea event in Australia's history.
