Japanese fishing vessel swept to sea by 3/11 tsunami found adrift off Canada, CBC says

TOKYO (TR) – Canadian Forces aircraft have spotted a Japanese fishing vessel swept out to sea after the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami off the nation’s west coast, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported.

The 50-meter vessel was discovered last week during a routine patrol off the coast of British Colombia near the Haida Gwaii Islands, a government spokeswoman said. Photographs of the ship showed a rusty but still intact hulk.
