Among the Japanese tsunami debris<\/a> that has washed up onshore is a sixty-six foot dock, still intact.<\/p>\n

The dock washed ashore on Tuesday morning on Agate Beach, near Newport, Oregon. It measures sixty-six feet long, seven feet high, and nineteen feet wide. A small metal plaque with Japanese writing on it is still attached.<\/p>\n

The Japanese consulate confirmed that the dock was from a northeast area of Japan. Scientists took samples of the marine life attached to the dock and said some were unique to Japan.<\/p>\n

The dock was also tested for radiation, because of the Fukushima nuclear reactor disaster caused by the tsunami, but no radiation was found.<\/p>\n

The Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation is deciding how to remove the dock without disrupting the shore.<\/p>\n
