One of the passengers who escaped from the steamship Titanic, Hosono, a Japanese, arrived here in Honolulu aboard the Shinyo Maru [Shun’yō Maru] and left for Japan.

[Monday (4/16/2012) marks the 100th year since the tragedy heard all over the world. Who knew the only Japanese aboard the Titanic, Masabumi Hosono, spent some time in Hawaii nei.]
