Category: Japan floating dock

If you ask me, the  Japanese contractor- one account said it's called Zeniya Kaiyo Service - that built the floating wharf dock thing that survived a tsunami and then a meander all the way across the Pacific Ocean to wash up on Agate Beach on the coast of Oregon needs to hire an ocean-going tug. Take it back, I say, Put it on display back in its original Port of Misawa. "For Tsunami-proof, Earthquake-scoffing structures, call US!" on a big sign might drum up an advantage in the post-earthquake reconstruction business.

Word is that the owners of the dock don't want it back. OK, I have another idea. Take it to a port somewhere nearby in Oregon, a nice tony marina or fishing boat wharf perhaps and Depoe Bay...
