Japanese dwarf submarine type A Ko-hyoteki on Kiska Island (Aleutian ridge).
The Aleutian archipelago is located southwest of Alaska; after the sale of this territory by the Russian Empire in 1867, it came under the jurisdiction of the United States. During World War II, the island was captured by the Japanese, who established a submarine base here. Before retreating in 1943, the Japanese blew up the remaining ships here, most of them still lie here.
It is noteworthy that in 1943, American troops began an operation to “liberate” the island of Kiska, not suspecting that the Japanese were no longer on the island. During the extremely unsuccessful operation, more than 100 people died - most from erroneous friendly fire, others from frostbite and explosions on Japanese mines.

The submarine Quester I, built by a New York shipyard worker named Jerry Bianco. Jerry made it in his spare time from scrap metal to salvage valuables from the Italian passenger liner SS Andrea Doria (sank in 1956). Jerry's idea was not destined to come true: when launching, the ship became tightly stuck in coastal debris and silt. There was never any money found for a second attempt to launch the Quester; the boat is still clearly visible from Coney Island.
