The meteorite was found on deck of the ship "M.S. Century Highway No.1", which was loading cars in the T-3 berth on Toyota-pier at Toyohashi harbour (Tahara district). When the crew came back from lunch after 12:00, they found meteorite fragments spread out from two impact dents in the steel deck, the larger measuring 20 x 6.5 cm and 3 cm depth, the smaller 17 cm away from it.
