3階教室に地上から約8メートルの高さまで流されひっくり返った車が残るなど、当時のままの旧校舎を及川淳之助館長(72)や、地元高校生らの「語り部」の説明を受け熱心に見て回った。

悠仁さまは、気仙沼高3年の三浦大和さん(18)に「窓枠も流されたのですか」と質問。屋根が流された屋内運動場について説明した気仙沼向洋高3年の福岡未央さん(17)には「上の部分は流されてどこかに行ってしまったのですか」と尋ねた。

旧校舎は津波で4階の高さ約12メートルまで浸水したが、生徒や教職員は全員無事だった。秋篠宮さまは「みんな避難して無事で良かったですね」と話した。

秋篠宮さまと悠仁さまは14日朝、津波被害を受け復旧した気仙沼市魚市場を訪問。帽子と長靴を着用し、カツオの水揚げの様子などを見学した。
