A quarter of a century has passed since the last voyage of the Seikan Ferry. With the loss of documents and records from the period, as well as the ageing of those connected with the service, the memory of the railroad ferry that connected Aomori with Hakodate, Hokkaido is gradually fading. This lecture is an opportunity to introduce this historical ferry service and offer information and knowledge, with the intention of contributing towards the spread of ideas about maritime affairs.
