This handout photograph obtained courtesy of the Oregon Parks and Recreation (OPRD) shows residents standing before a huge floating dock June 5, 2012 in Agate Beach, Oregon. Cast adrift by Japan's killer tsunami, the dock washed up on the Oregon beach 15 months later, washed in with the high tide on Agate beach, 100 miles (160 kilometers) southwest of Portland. Local authorities contacted the Japanese consulate in Portland, who confirmed that it was from the March 11, 2011 tsunami, thrown up by a massive earthquake off Japan's coast 5,500 miles across the Pacific. Four floating docks were washed away by the tsunami. This is one of them," deputy consul general Hirofumi Murabayashi told AFP.
