For example, on this wreck all four engines are present. This H6K wreck is pretty much a jumbled pile, but there's more to it than the 'Mavis' wreck farther north. offensive action against the Japanese during WWII. That date is significant for two reasons- it was not only the date of the first American attack on Kwajalein Atoll, but it was also the first U.S. 1, 1942, by SBD's from the USS ENTERPRISE. The research that I've done since diving the first 'Mavis' several months back, indicates that both of these H6K's were strafed and sunk on Feb. Ebeye was the site of a Japanese seaplane base prior to the invasion of Kwajalein Atoll by U.S.
This is the second of two H6K's that are off Ebeye.the other is farther north, just off the old seaplane ramp. Three days ago, I dove on the wreck of another H6K 'Mavis' that's just off Ebeye island, near the Ebeye pier.
