The Seikan Bridge was abolished in 1988 with the opening of the Seikan Tunnel.
The last flight was operated from Aomori to Hakkoda Maru and Hakodate to Yotei Maru, and the two vessels are still preserved at their respective ports.
Hakkoda Maru (ferry preserved at Aomori Port)
Hakkoda Maru is located in Aomori Port.
The exhibition reproduces the state at the time when the Seikan shuttle ship was operated using dolls, and the exhibition where real diesel locomotives used at that time were placed in the basement is impressive.
Mashu Maru (ferry preserved at Hakodate Port)
In addition to hakkoda maru, the only existing ship is the Mashu Maru in Hakodate Port shown in the photo above.
(The way of exhibition is different from Hakkoda Maru, so mashumaru is also recommended)
Yotei Maru (liaison ship dismantled after being exhibited)
In fact, in addition to the two ships that appeared above, "Hakkoda Maru" and "Yotei Maru", "Yotei Maru" (pictured above) was preserved at the Ship Science Museum in Odaiba, Tokyo.
Unfortunately, however, it was dismantled in 2012.
The diesel locomotives on display at hakkoda maru, dolls, and audio that reproduces the state of the time flowing in the exhibition room seem to have been exhibited at the Yotei Maru in Tokyo originally. (I visited about 2 months after Yurikame opened, but it was more than 20 years ago, so I don't remember the exhibition.) ）
I think the maintenance costs were difficult, but it is sad to be dismantled for economic reasons. I ho
pe that the remaining two vessels, Hakodate and Aomori, will continue to remain.
