The US coast guard is preparing to sink a Japanese fishing boat that is  adrift off the coast of Alaska after it was washed out to sea by the  2011 tsunami.
The derelict Ryou-Un Maru is currently about 170 nautical miles (196 miles, 315km) south-west of Sitka, Alaska.
The 200ft (61m) "ghost ship" has no lights, power or crew and is a danger to other ships, the coast guard said.
Poor old ship did well to make it this far.
