lately last calendar week , the oddment of a badly damage fishing gravy holder was spotted off the coast of Oregon . Remarkably , the gravy boat — adrift since the 2011 Tōhoku temblor and tsunami — brought a act of Pisces along with it — and they ’re still alive .
Asreportedin the Japan Times , the gravy boat has drifted about 5,000 Swedish mile ( 8,000 kilometer ) in the four years since the tsunami struck the Nipponese coast . The wreck measures about 29 substructure ( 9 time ) in duration and was likely part of a 50 - foot ( 15 - meter ) sportfishing boat . The vessel was equipped with a holding tank , which is where the fish are trapped .
During an investigating of the ship , the Orgeon Parks and Recreation Department discovered 20 yellowtail amberfish and one striped beakfish — Pisces the Fishes commonly found in the coastal body of water of Japan .
The OPRD says the wreck require to be put away of , but the fish will be re - locate to a local fish tank .
