'Ghost ships' filled with dead bodies found near Japan One clue pointing that direction is the same Korean lettering on the hull of a boat containing 10 decomposing bodies, one of three boats that were found adrift off the city of Wajima on the west coast of Japan on November 20. Their best guess so far is that the ships are from North Korea. The first boat was found in October, then a series of boats were found in November.Ĭoast guard officials are trying to unravel the riddle of where these ghostly boats came from and what happened to those on board. Over the past two months, at least 12 wooden boats have been found adrift along Japan’s coast carrying chilling cargo – the decaying bodies of 22 people, according to police and Japan’s coast guard.Īll the bodies were “partially skeletonized” – two were found without heads – and one boat contained six skulls, the coast guard said. The condition of the latest boat indicated it may have been drifting for some time, he said. Japanese coast guard pull the wooden boat from the water.
