Cool let's buy it and turn it into a...

Uh.

Well... let's see.

I guess a prison? Or maybe a penal colony.

Important question: does this mean there are underground passages and stuff that are literally under the sea? This could be like the coolest Fallout vault.

Underground greenhouses powered by wave turbines and solar panels... ok I'm getting into this now!

It sort of was.

Before and during World War II, Hashima, like many industrial sites in Japan, was a location for forced labor.

Korean and Chinese prisoners of war were kept here, enduring varying degrees of hardship.

What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
