Shot Notes

The ship’s log from the STS Kaisei (“Ocean Planet” in Japanese). The log cover is in Polish, as the ship was designed and built in Gdańsk, Poland in 1987. She was purchased by the Sail Training Association of Japan in 1993 and has visited 14 countries and traveled extensively throughout the Pacific in her mission to promote the global community and bring countries and cultures together through the international language of the sea.

I was able to walk aboard her during the 2008 Festival of Ships in San Diego.
