Date discrepancy

[edit]

In the article for Otokichi, it states that they made landfall in 1834, not 1815. Any way to verify which date is correct?--FeanorStar7 (talk) 23:49, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have additional questions about the accuracy of this article (which provides no in-line references). The source below
  • Tate, Cassandra (2009-07-23). "HistoryLink: Japanese Castaways of 1834: The Three Kichis". HistoryLink.org.
lists three survivors of the Hojunmaru (the article lists two), none of which are named Oguri Jukichi. Furthermore, it's well documented that the Hojunmaru landed in what is now Washington state. The article, however, says that California is where the ship ultimately arrived. It is possible that the article is referring instead with the Tokujomaru (see the HistoryLink source above) which reportedly had a crew of 14 (as stated in the article) and landed near Santa Barbara in 1813. — Myasuda (talk) 03:00, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I found a source
that I'll use to fix up this article. — Myasuda (talk) 02:49, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
