Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Record of Japanese Vessels: Driven Upon the North-West Coast of America and Its Outlying Islands
This has actually happened in repeated instances. With in the ninety years which comprise the history of the N. W. Coast, several disabled Japanese vessels have reached our shores. Two have been wrecked upon the main land, four upon the islands now belonging to the United States, one upon islands immediately adjacent to Lower California, and one at least, if not two, have been boarded at sea but a short distance from our shores, and in every case of which we have record, living men were rescued from the wreck. It is my object simply to collect these incidents and present them in a connected form, giv ing in each case the original authorities, and such explana tion as the case may require.
