Possible Tsunami debris?

I found this bowl at Long Beach, WA just above the surf line. I'm thinking it's from the Tsunami in Japan. It has a lot of growth on it like it was in the water for quite a while.

It looks and feels like plastic. If it were porcelain, it wouldn't have floated very far.

I thought it looked like plastic, no, you're right, it wouldn't have gone far if it were porcelain. Interesting find.

Interesting. The Tsunami in Japan is a long ways away.
Probably a drunk sailor was wearing it when
he fell over board.

A Harley Davidson bike in a container came over as debris on the shores of Vancover from Japan, so anything is possible.

This was not on the internet!! It really happened. The owner in Japan got a new bike from Harley Davidson.
Maybe you can Google this and find out for sure.
You would not believe what has floated over to the West coast of Canada and the US since the Tsunami.

True story: Harley cleaned it up, restored it
and sent it back to him. Sorry, I work at a nuke
plant and get tired of all the false propaganda.
Guess I'm a little over sensitive.
