6-Feb-2004: The "Hokuto Maru" is being dragged back onto its berth at Outer East Station Pier (notice the line at stern extending off-shot). This was a National Institute for Sea Training (Japan) training ship. Another rare / non-repeatable photo: this must have been one of her last trips as the NIST website mentions she was decommissioned in 2004. Again thanks to POMC for providing the identification of this ship.
