Ginga Maru




I was down at Waterfront Park (where the Dolphin Port shopping complex used to be) and found the Ginga Maru. According to the Ship Spotting website, it's a "training ship" operated by the Japan Agency of Maritime Education & Training for Seafarers.



I was initially attracted by the lifeboat pods. I don't know anything about these, but I assume they're for surviving on very heavy seas.



This entire back compartment is just for holding the anchor rope spools. That surprised me.
