This is the first I saw of this discovery. Interestingly the source of the release was the office of Senator Maria Cantwell (D, WA) who reported it to KING 5 News. This will not be the last though I think it is a big ship others might be found and soon the people will have to find a way to dispose of all the debris which comes either ashore or in the shipping lanes at very least. Something needs to be done soon.

Soon there will be debris of all kinds washing up on shores.

salvage laws may apply but i am unsure as to how that whole process works i think unless its historical or gold bullion it might go back to owners (like that gold going back to spain) but im pretty sure if you remove it from the area it might just be yours under salvage laws(does any one know if they apply to vessles that are on the beach vs recovered from open sea)

Under salvage laws you would have to notafie the owner that you found the vessel as it was not abandoned at sea. but is classed as a vessel lost from moorings.
The owner would be responsible for paying your towing cost to the nearest port and cost involved to return it to japan or he could just sell it in the port it was towed to.
Or more likely
The owner may also have good insurance and turn the problem over to his insurance company and the insurance company could do the same.

News like this and the video show us all how seriously small and fragile this planet really is.

Relieved to know there is some plans in place regarding the clean-up though we'll be at the mercy of how to dispose of it when it is gathered up. Good addition to the article!

Cheers!

why do you think the basement had a hot spot?
I have a military compass that is quite hot, the luminous paint.

I've always wondered why Greenpeace and Seasheapard do nothing about it.

1 - because it would make a real difference

2 - its not exciting
