Prewar Japan-Sakhalin cables valuable for historians, nuisance for fishermen
A staff member at a history museum in Wakkanai, Hokkaido Prefecture, northern Japan, shows in July 2015 two sections of prewar undersea telecommunications cables that used to connect northern Hokkaido and Karafuto, currently Russian's Sakhalin, that have been recovered from the seabed. The cable fragments were donated to the museum by a subsidiary of NTT Corp., successor to the now-defunct Communications Ministry. (Kyodo)
