It was washed over 700 meters inshore from the harbor and tossed by one of the main roads leading to City Hall. This young girl with her parents don't weigh much in comparison, yet each is a monument of equal importance, one to past destruction, the other to hope and the future. As of October 9, 2015, the earthquake's toll is at 15,893 persons. Thewreckage of the Kyotoku Maru was removed in October 2013. more Tohoku photos
