US Coast Guard officials in Hawaii say fishermen have found a Japanese skiff swept out to sea by last year's tsunami.
The Coast Guard said on Friday the crew of the fishing boat Zephyr found the small boat intact and floating about 1300km north of Honolulu and brought it to Honolulu.
The Japanese consulate in Honolulu says the boat is registered in Iwate, a northeastern prefecture hit by the tsunami. The owner doesn't want it back.
Hawaiian officials checked the boat for invasive species and radiation as a precaution.
It is the second confirmed piece of tsunami debris to arrive in Hawaii.
Last month, a large blue plastic bin used to transport seafood was found floating in waters off eastern Oahu. It was from Fukushima.
