List of Hellship Voyages

Updated: March 1, 2007 (Split this page into three parts to make lists load faster)

NOTES:

1.  Where the exact departure date of a ship is unknown and only the year is known, the month and day are both shown as "01".  Where the month and year are known but not the day, the day is shown as "01".

2.  This page contains lists of voyages of Japanese-operated ships that carried Prisoners of War (including civilian slave laborers).  Since some ships made more than one voyage carrying POWs, those ships are listed more than once.

3.  The first chart lists the Hellship voyages in chronological order of departure dates.  The second chart lists those same ships in Alphabetical order of ship name.

4.  The Notes column includes information about many ship sinkings that happened after the Hellship voyage.  This information has been added because there was some confusion about whether the sinkings occurred during the Hellship voyage.
