for reference SCAJAP No.K372
1952.2(Showa 27)Sold to Taiheiyo Kaiun Co., Ltd. (Tokyo) and renamed Kaiyo Maru
1955.3.12(Shao 30)Sold to Nichiro Fishery Co., Ltd. (Yokohama). Remodeled into a crab cannery ship
1967.11.16(Showa 42)Completed dismantling in Yokosuka
This looks basically like the photo of BRADBURN on this site (plus additional structures); the problem is that the photo purported to be the KAIYO MARU on the site is clearly a very different vessel.
