Sailors Sing Brightly as Takasigo Sinks Beneath Waves
The Japanese cruiser Takasigo struck a mine near Port Arthur in December and sank after a heavy list. Captain Ishibashi ordered life belts and no one to jump until sinking. The crew sang the national anthem and Gallant Sailors before death, with 133 rescued from about 500 aboard. Otowa later arrived to aid, but over 360 perished or died from exposure.
