Participants take their positions at the Naha New Port
Summary
Participants take their positions at the Naha New Port Wharf prior to the 39th annual Naha dragon boat race May 5. The tradition of dragon boat-racing came into existence hundreds of years ago when villagers made their own boats and raced as a way to honor the god of the sea, and celebrate and pray for productive fishing and maritime safety. Each race consisted of three boats competing in a 400-meter lap race. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Pfc. Kasey Peacock/Released)
