The US National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration mentioned that ocean and wind currents have spread objects in the North Pacific Ocean at a certain extent that such debris were no longer noticeable when scanned with low-resolution satellite imaging. Vessels who regularly passed the North Pacific Ocean have reported of fewer sightings.
While Mark had taken several photos of the said motorcycle, he didn’t attempt to remove it from the beach. Aside from the motorcycle, some items such as, tools, camping equipments and golf clubs were likewise found within the container. Mark said that artifacts like the motorcycle, and other items that might persist to appear on North America’s coastline over the next year should be treated with respect. He also hopes that the owner of the motorcycle is safe and well.
After finding the container, Mark immediately contacted the Japanese consulate office in Vancouver. Japanese officials in Canada are now trying to trace the motorcycle to its owners. Back in March of last year, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of Japan, which triggered a powerful tsunami that had hit much of Tohoku Region in the Oshika Peninsula. More than 20,000 people died, close to 27,000 were injured, and more than 3,000 people remained missing until now.

An American-made motorcycle lost in last year’s tsunami incident in Japan has found its way to Canadian shores. Canadian news agencies reports that a Harley Davidson motorcycle was earlier found over a mobile trailer somewhere at the Haida Gwaii islands situated at Northern Coast of British Columbia, Canada. The motorcycle, along with other items reportedly travelled for about 3000 miles from Japan’s Miyagi Prefecture towards the North Coast.
Reports say that Peter Mark, a beach comber had told reporters that he has came ahead the container 2 weeks later while aboard ATVs on an inaccessible beach front in the area. While combing into the area, Mark suddenly found a white rusted trailer partially buried in sand in the beach. Curious of its contents, Mark tried to pry open the steel doors.
Upon opening the trailer, he found the motorcycle already rusted but still recognizable. Mark was able to trace the motorcycle’s origins through its license plate.
Experts expect that items such as the container may reach the shores of British Columbia and other coastal states over the next several months as debris from the Japanese tsunami makes its slow journey to North America. About 1.5 million tons of such items are reportedly still drifting across the Pacific Ocean towards Canada’s west coast. But so far, only small items have reached the shores.
