What was the most tragic shipwreck in the history of a neighboring country? 1,155 people lost their lives, all because of the captain’s misunderstanding?

The country is Japan, and at that time there was a ship called Toya Maru that wanted to go to Aomori. Logically speaking, the weather forecast at that time reported that a typhoon was passing through. Let these ships stop sailing immediately and hide in a safe place to avoid the typhoon. But when the captain of the ship waited for a very long time and found that the typhoon had not come and the weather was still very good, he thought that there was actually no typhoon and ordered to continue sailing. It was the wrong behavior of the captain of the ship that caused everyone on the ship to die in the typhoon. There is sea between Honshu Island and Hokkaido in Japan, so people's main means of transportation is ships. There is a ship named Toya Maru that wants to sail to Aomori. In 1954, the Marine Meteorological Observatory reported that a typhoon was passing through on the 15th, and required all ships sailing on board to suspend flights to avoid the typhoon. However, this report from the weather station did not appear at that time and the typhoon was delayed for several days. At that time, the captain of the ship saw a very bright sun in the sky and thought that the typhoon was not coming, so he ordered his crew to continue sailing. The sun had disappeared when the ship set off. Many passengers on the ship were panicking and wanted to disembark early. At this time, the crew reassured these passengers not to worry, it was very safe here. But what they didn't know was that the reason why the ship was facing calm conditions was because they were in the eye of the typhoon.

If we continue sailing, the surroundings will be very dangerous. Not long after the ship sailed, it started to rain and the ship was shaken by the wind and waves. The wind was so strong that the entire ship was overturned. Most of the more than 1,000 passengers on board the ship died in the typhoon accident. A distress signal had been sent before the ship sank, but due to the ongoing typhoon at the time, it took a long time for the relevant ambulances to arrive. Due to the lack of timely rescue, only more than 100 people were rescued at that time, and the remaining more than 1,000 people all died.
