Daigo Fukuryū Maru, also known as the "Lucky Dragon No. 5," was a Japanese fishing trawler that became famous for its association with nuclear testing. On March 1, 1954, the vessel was participating in a fishing expedition in the Pacific Ocean when it was caught in the fallout from the United States' Castle Bravo thermonuclear test at Bikini Atoll. The explosion was more powerful than expected, and the resulting fallout contaminated the ship and its crew.
