Huge Japanese dock washes up in Oregon 15 months after tsunami
A huge floating dock cast adrift by Japan’s killer tsunami has washed up on an Oregon beach, believed to be the biggest pieces of flotsam to make landfall on the U.S. West Coast so far.
The 66-foot (20-metre) long rectangular structure, made of concrete and metal, was spotted floating off the coast on Monday, and then washed in with the high tide on Agate beach, 100 miles (160 kilometres) southwest of Portland. (Photos: AFP/Getty Images; Reuters)
