Japanese fishing vessel drifted unmanned at sea since the 2011 dreaded Fukushima earthquake and tsunami sunk to the bottom of the Gulf of Alaska after the U.S. Coast Guard fired at the so-called ghost ship on Thursday ,April 5,2012. It was considered a navigational hazard, as it was located in busy shipping lanes near the Dixon Entrance in Southeast Alaska. It isn't sure why the vessel is being called a "ghost ship," perhaps the term was coined due to the fact it has been drifted at sea unmanned and without power.
