We headed in to Eten Island and anchored south of Dublon Island in an area that was a Japanese sea plane base.  The wreck of the Kawanishi H8K1 "Emily" flying boat lies upside down at a depth of 15 metres.  It was powered by four radial air-cooled engines with four-bladed metal airscrews.  It had a wing span of 38 metres and a length of 28 metres. The aircraft was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with large strut-braced wing-tip floats.

The wing is in good shape, but the four engines have fallen to the sea floor. The fuselage (which should be on top of the wing) is in three pieces on the bottom, with bits scattered everywhere.  Photographs and specifications of the aircraft show that it is similar in size and appearance to the British Short Sunderland.
