Recently, in California, debris from the Japanese tsunami 25 months ago washed up. It was a boat, not the big kind, but a motor boat, covered in barnacles and algae. It is the very first confirmed piece of debris to wash up in California, but at least 25 others have come to other parts of the United States. They traced the boat back to a high school in Japan, translating the writing on the side. It was Takata High School, a part of an area that was totally destroyed. It's crazy that something like that traveled that far across the world and stayed in one piece! This article was written by Douglas Main, and was very factual. I did not sense any bias, and I think that this article was written for anybody who is interested in tsunamis or just could be interested at all in the information on this specific one. I hope that things are going better for them over in Japan and that we can help them as much as we can.

Well, that certainly was interesting. "The brave little motor boat found its way back to the safety of the docks. And then the dump."
ReplyDeleteWould the boat have to sink and then float on over to California? Of did it just take a vacation around the Pacific and happento stop in Cali?

ReplyDeleteI am amazed at the fact that until now the boat washes up like you said it has been 25 months.
