Japanese tsunami survivor’s football turns up in Alaska

Last year’s tsunami disaster, which
claimed around 19,000 lives
, swept away vast swathes of
communities, including personal belongings, entire homes, boats and cars.

Many of these items have formed giant floating islands of debris which are
slowly crossing the Pacific Ocean and heading towards the west coast of the
United States, with an array of items already being discovered.

Much of the debris is expected to hit Alaska, Canada, Washington and Oregon
between 2013 and 2014, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), the federal agency in the United States.

However, a number of items are arriving already, among them the Ryou-Un Maru,
an abandoned fishing vessel which travelled more than 7,200km from Japan
before it was found drifting off Alaska.
