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)
