Thisseries of short videos include images taken in and around both Yokohama Bay and Tokyo Harbor. As an island nation, Japan has a long history as well as current focus on maritime activities. Its port museums reflect this history and interest; thousands of students go on tours of the museums which help stoke interest in and appreciation for maritime science ad commerce. Included in this series, one can see: Lift-van crates stored in transit while on the docks at Yokohama Bay, covered by a large canopy, on the dock and out of doors.

Export packaging is crucial element to safe transport of sea-going cargo.) Container ships staged at the docks andd working their cargo (loading/unloading) while on Yokohama port and Odaiba port in Tokyo Harbor.
