#5I just went to Gunkanjima (“battleship”) island in Nagasaki, Japan. At one point it was the most densely populated area on earth.
It was used at the villain backdrop in the 007 movie.
The history of the island is that it was owned by Mitsubishi mining company during Japan’s industrial revolution thru World War II. There they mined coal from the seabed.
Apparently, some 40% of miners died. There also used forced labor from prisoners of war. Japan is filled with UNESCO heritage sites, and this site is one of them, but it’s bid was met with criticism.
In these small towns in Japan, the industrialists and barons have statues erected for them, but the story of the common worker is often lost and not presented during these tours.
