Japanese fishing boats miraculously reappeared 10 years after being swept away by the tsunami

According to the British "Mirror" reported on December 15, in northeastern Japan, ten years after the tsunami washed away fishing boats, fishing boats actually returned to port.

It is reported that after the great earthquake in eastern Japan in 2011, a small fishing boat disappeared in the city of Gasonuma in the Japanese ministry. Ten years later, on the Pacific islands, the fishing boat was rediscovered. The magnitude 9.0 earthquake was the strongest ever recorded in Japan, triggering a 40.5-meter-high tsunami that killed more than 10,000 people and was also missing fishing boats. Nearly 10 years later, the vessel was spotted off the coast of Hachijo Island, 404 miles south of Japan.

According to news reports, local fishermen checked the registration certificate of the fishing boat and confirmed that it belonged to the fishing cooperative in The city of Gasenuma. The vessel is 5.5 meters long and contains fish and crabs swimming in puddles, which have been towed to shore by the local government. A local marine expert, who did not give an account, said: "The fishing boat may have been swept away by the tsunami of that year to an area off the west coast of the United States, and then to the northern equatorial stream in Southeast Asia, experiencing the black tide and then returning here." ”

In fact, the ship is not the only object that surfaces after floating at sea for a long time. In April 2012, a couple living in Middleton Island, Bay of Alaska, discovered a soccer ball marked as belonging to a school in Japan's Iwate Prefecture. In May of the same year, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle lost in the tsunami was loaded in a huge white container and washed up on an island in Canada. (Compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
