Whaling Ship To Transport Relief Supplies For Quake Victims

Nisshin Maru TOKYO (Kyodo)—The mother ship of Japan’s four-vessel whaling fleet will set sail Friday from Tokyo port to deliver relief supplies to areas stricken by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that ravaged northeastern Japan, the captain said Thursday.

The 8,044-ton Nisshin Maru, which returned to Japan Monday from an aborted whaling voyage to the Antarctic Ocean, is now loading tons of supplies, including kerosene, charcoal fuel and cup noodles, for a plan to arrive Sunday at a yet undecided port in the disaster area, captain Tomoyuki Ogawa said.

The vessel took aboard 5 tons of charcoal, 100,000 cup noodles, kerosene tanks and other supplies with cranes Thursday. It will also deliver heavy oil in its on-board fuel tank to quake-stricken areas, he said.

‘’We want to deliver the supplies to areas such as isolated remote islands,’’ the captain said.

On Feb. 18, the mother ship and three whaling vessels halted their so-called research whaling in the Antarctic Ocean for this season, which had been due to run until March, due to obstructive actions by the antiwhaling group Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

The Nikkei's latest photographs are worth viewing at this link.

I find four of the pictures particularly poignant: the picture of the lady in the ordinary act of deboarding a bus in front of the extraordinary destruction, the children in the "open air" classroom, the ladies shopping in an open air market operating among the destruction, and the box with 元気出して written on it (it means something like "keep on going!" or "chin up!")

Someone posted this on another thread and I thought it was of interest....

We (the U.S.) have 19 warships, 150 aircraft and 20,000 military personnel there, all in humanitarian support roles."
