>>> they are calling it a ghost ship and it's drifting off the coast of british columbia . the experts say it has been on sea for a year since it was on board in the japanese earthquake. officials say it's a squid fishing boat . it's 50 days from reaching shore. they're going to check to be sure it's not leaking fuel. they have warned mariners in the area because you do not want your vessel to come upon that vessel in the pitch black of the nighttime pacific ocean , and sadly, there are others behind it.
