Sample Chapter:
Unboring Japan Mysteries for Kids - Chapter 6: Ghost Ships
On a cold morning in November 2015, a fishing boat drifted onto the shores of Noto Peninsula in central Japan. The wood was rotting. The hull was falling apart. And on board were human remains - the skeletal bodies of several people still dressed in old clothing.
There was no engine. No modern navigation equipment. No identification. Just a wooden boat that looked like it had sailed out of another century.
It wasn't the only one.
Between 2013 and 2018, over 150 mysterious wooden boats washed ashore on Japan's western coastline. Some carried bodies. Some were empty. A few had fragments of writing investigators identified as Korean, specifically from North Korea. Most boats were so deteriorated they gave almost nothing away.
