Japanese tsunami wreck found floating on the British Columbia's coast Haida Gwaii

After being flushed out to sea by last year's massive tsunami and earthquake, a Japanese squid-fishing boat has drifted across the Pacific Ocean and was about 120 nautical miles off British Columbia's north coast Friday evening. The 150-foot ship was found drifting right-side-up about 140 nautical miles (260 km) from Cape Saint James, on the southern tip of Haida Gwaii. Spotted by aircrafts some 120 miles off the coast of Canada, the Japanese squid-fish boast looks like true ghost ship, as no one in control or on board of it. Japanese owner confrimed Canadian authorities that he has lost it since tsunami, last year.


It's been drifting across the Pacific for a year, so it's pretty beat up, said marine search coordinator Jeff Olsson of Victoria's Joint Rescue Coordination Centre.
