Hashima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan

Etymology
Battleship Island is an English translation of the Japanese nickname for Hashima Island, Gunkanjima (gunkan meaning battleship, jima being the rendaku form of shima, meaning island). The island's nickname came from its apparent resemblance to the Japanese battleship Tosa (so much so, in fact, it was torpedoed by the American Navy during World War II). It also is known as the Ghost Island.
