2025 Ehime Maru Cleanup

Please join the Pearl Harbor Rotary Club with this annual cleanup project of the Ehime Maru Memorial that commemorates the tragic collision of the Ehime Maru, a Japanese fishery high school training ship and the USS Greeneville on February 9, 2001, that caused the death of 35 people on board, four students, two teachers, and three crew members.  Every week, a different organization cleans the memorial, not only to clean the memorial, but to pay respects to those that lost their lives there.  There are visitors that travel from around the world, but mostly from Japan, to adorn the memorial with flowers and memorabilia, and our job is to clean the area each week.  

There will be a short explanation of the event by Steve Dyer, a member of the Pearl Harbor Rotary Club who was instrumental in soothing the relations between the US and Japan and to avoid an International incident on that day.

Attached is a flier for the event.  Please respond to me instead of the Pearl Harbor Club if you can make this truly memorable experience in hearing about this event.

Mahalo,

Allen Kamemoto
