10. Football
On March 11, 2011, a giant earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan. It was the biggest earthquake ever recorded by Japanese officials, and the fourth largest ever recorded in the world. This earthquake triggered a tsunami that enveloped the country. When the so-called Great East Japan Earthquake struck, the ensuing tsunami it generated left large swaths of rubble in its wake.
9. Motorcycle
In April 2012, Peter Mark, a British Columbia resident, saw that a shipping container had washed ashore. However, its contents shocked him; when he opened it up, he found a complete motorcycle locked inside.
8. Blob of Yabuchi Jima
Many news outlets reported this next object as washing ashore due to the 2011 Japanese tsunami, but it is actually entirely unrelated; in fact, the so called ‘Blob of Yabuchijima’ was discovered in 2010. But that does not make this discovery any less sensational.
7. Mussels, clams, and fish, oh my!
One of the unexpected consequences of the 2011 tsunami? Massive amounts of foreign fish washing ashore from across the ocean. From Alaska to Hawaii, close to 300 species of assorted sea-farers moved from Japan to the opposite coast, riding on debris from the 2011 tsunami and washing ashore with their lives intact.
6. Oarfish
Most of the items on our list have washed up after a tsunami, but the entry often comes before one, and may even signal its arrival. All over the world, people have seen the following creature wash ashore, and every time that it does, the rumors again begin to flow. Oarfish are long, mysterious creatures that swim some 3,300 feet below sea-level.
5. Village sign
The damage that the 2011 tsunami inflicted upon Japan was immense. In the Iwate prefecture, much of the Tanohata village was literally swallowed into the ocean. While most of this debris is still swimming out at sea, this next piece of debris washed up far away from its original home.
4. Buoy
In 2019, hurricane Dorian ravaged through the Bahamas and all the way up through the Southeastern United States and the East coast of Canada, leaving great destruction in its wake. A category 5 hurricane, it was the most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic. So when a huge navigation buoy washed up on a Florida shore after Dorian, it came as no surprise.
3. 28,000 rubber ducks
While it was travelling from Honk Kong to the United States, a shipping crate was lost at sea. But since that happened in 1992, the 28,000 rubber ducks that were contained within that shipping crate have been roaming the oceans and washing ashore ever since.
2. 70-foot dock
Here is another wild castaway from Japan’s 2011 tsunami. In June 2012, onlookers at an Oregon beach spotted an entire dock floating away from the shores of Agate Beach. After a storm jostled it around, it came to the shore. And it’s no wonder why people came from far and wide to give it a look. The dock, made from concrete, is 66 feet long, 19 feet wide, and 7 feet high - one of the biggest objects on our list to wash ashore.
1. Fishing boat
There is one more striking piece of debris that washed up after the 2011 Japanese tsunami. On March 20, 2012, over a year after the tsunami, the Royal Canadian Air Force spotted a ship floating across Canadian waters. To their astonishment, this ship was a ghost ship, with no crew members on board.

A soccer ball washed up somewhere along the west coast of BC To keep it short, it had a whole bunch of names on it in Japanese. Can't recall the details or how long it took but it had belonged to a lad in Japan and was lost in the great sunami along with everything else he and his family owned. The ball was special I think on account it was used in a tournament and was signed by all his team mates. Think it took a few years but the ball found its way back to one very grateful owner. He never in his wildest dreams thought he'd ever see that soccer ball again. If not for the major efforts of the folks in BC, it would of been lost for ever along with every other possession he and his family had owned. I recall when the story broke, it was wow! Bloody amazing. Truth stranger than fiction. Also the people who found it. Most would be, oh well an old ball instead of, I wonder where it came from. Is the owner still alive? How long ago was it lost? With the names on it, can we figure out where it came from and perhaps return it to it's owner. Will he be happy to get it back? A real feal good tale.

Hi Katrina! #4... a 25mm is technically an auto cannon but can be termed a heavy machine gun. Love your Channel!

[@mlcg1500]

The ocean is such a creepy and mysterious place. I won't be shocked if they find some sort of mythical town with fish people somewhere..

USS destroyers and cruisers still have at least a 6 inch Canon these days

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

"Mega-rafting!" What a concept!

[@sammysmethurst4763]

Cause of you I now study history and it’s fun

[@snowkracker]

How hard is it to get pics and videos of the actual locations and objects being talked about?

[@JAMESWARD294]

Nice

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

1:30 "Luckily no-one was hurt.." I might have said, 'incredibly!' My Lord, I was sure there must have been terrible losses.

[@tallyhorizzla3330]

How about the estimated 600 ton lump of coral washed up after the eruption of Krakatoa.

[@mattyrothsoffroadgarage8333]

And if at 6-in Canon sounds big keep in mind the museum ships Iowa New Jersey and Missouri all have 16 inch cannons and if the ships ever were required to go back into service those cannons can be fired unlike the museum ship USS Texas the Iowa class battleships cannons were never disabled the only one that I know has a problem is Missouri's third number two it had an explosion in the '80s it didn't destroy the turret but it did disable it

I think I would’ve done some research on the Rocket Part and then probably donated to someone/some institution that could use it.

[@mred8002]

Love the content, but the background ‘music’ is too loud and covers up the mellifluous narrator. That is not acceptable.

[@rlsideswipe39]

[@lindak8664]

Picture this. I’m sitting here wondering how on earth a tsunami washed up a fairy 🧚‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️. Until i finally worked out she strangely pronounced ferry ⛴ 🤦🏼‍♀️

NOPE IT SUNC DI MINE GUNE

[@insaneloke4215]

Just show the regular image why do you have to put a filter over everything

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Would I keep a giant rocket part? You bet your bobcat, I would! I'd move into a bigger house and add on a garage with that baby making up the back wall! I'd charge my neighbors a buck ($.50 for kids & vets) to come ogle it!

[@HoopTY303]

When I hear about tragedy like tsunamis & dead whales it makes me sad, when it comes from a bubbly chirpy & cheerful voice it irritates me (and makes me sad). Thumbs down to the writer and the narrator and anyone else responsible for this video, it could have been good but it was not because of all of you.

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

YOUR FACE!

[@sandypineda7632]

3rd

[@fashiondiva6972]

The music is awful, way too loud and repetitive. If the theme is tsunamis then why the hell are you listing hurricanes? They’re not even remotely similar in origin or effect aside from the fact both involve water🙄 also, it’s not hard to find legitimate pics of the events described, that are public domain/fair use. Hella lazy vid.

[@terryv.2531]

Shameless clickbait...downvoted
