Thompson), that lasted several years, receiving recognition only on one night, when Alden J.

- Boutcher, Esther Penny. "1845 Preface to Pearl Harbor."

Recounts part of the Pacific journey of Capt. Mercator Cooper of the whaling ship, Manhattan, of Sag Harbor. Rescuing and returning two groups of shipwrecked Japanese, he obtained books, a valuable chart, and the Emperors good will, over a 4 day stay, but was told never to return; an adventure and chart perhaps having inspired Perry's later 1853 visit.
