There was an Antarctic observation ship "Shirase" at Harumi Wharf.
On the 13th (Saturday), the Tokyo Port and Harbor Bureau participated in the “Tokyo Port Saturday Tour” held every Saturday using the inspection ship “Shintokyo Maru”.
There was a place where you could see Harumi Wharf in the middle of the course, and when you saw it, the Antarctic observation ship "Shirase" was anchored. According to the guide, I returned from South Pole on this day and left for Yokosuka on that day, so I was very lucky to be able to see it (^^)v
After that, I forgot that, but when I happened to see the website of Chuo-ku today, there was a photo of the person who took "Shirase" from Tsukishima on the same day. （"Chuo-ku good place shooting,"）
It happened that "Shirase" was filmed from both the land side and the sea side in a few hours! (I'm a photo through the window of the Shin-Tokyo Maru, and it's a bit blurry because it's a condominium zoom ...)

What is "Sirase"?
The name "Shirase" is, of course, named after the first Japanese lieutenant Shirose, who stepped into the South Pole, and the current "Shirase" is the second generation. In the case of the second generation attack, it means that the name was decided by public offering.

By the way, Japan's Antarctic observation ship is
First generation: Soya (1957-1962), the second generation: Fuji (1965-1983), 3rd generation: First-generation (1983-2008), Fourth-generation: It is the second generation Shirase (2009~).
The first "Soya" (this ship also lived a really turbulent life. It was also featured in Project X) is moored next to the Science Museum of the ship and can tour the inside.
