Engine Order Telegraph

Sixty-three years ago, sailors moved the handles on this engine order telegraph on the bridge of the Shinkoku Maru to signal the engine room to stop and go. The ship went to the bottom of Truk Lagoon in the Pacific and is now encrusted with soft coral in brilliant yellows, reds, pinks and blues.
