Japanese motorcycle comes ashore in Canada VICTORIA, British Columbia, May 1 (UPI) -- A large Styrofoam box holding a motorcycle and camping equipment that washed ashore on Canada's west coast is likely tsunami debris from Japan, the finder said. Peter Mark, 32, contacted the Japanese Consulate in Vancouver, British Columbia, after making the find on the remote beach on the western coast of Vancouver Island last month, the Victoria Times-Colonist reported. He looked inside the large container and found a Harley-Davidson motorcycle corroded by sea water. "You can't turn the wheel or handlebars," Mark said. There's a fair bit of corrosion on the motorcycle. He also found camping equipment, tools and golf clubs in the box, the report said. The license plate indicates the motorcycle was registered in Miyagi prefecture, the region of Japan hit hardest by an earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Small items have been washing up on British Columbia and Washington state shores for several months, but this is the largest item so far. A derelict Japanese fishing vessel was spotted south of Vancouver Island in March but was sunk by the U.S. Coast Guard as a hazard to shipping.
