Korea?

I am reading Bradley Martin's Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader and it notes that in 1866 an "armed merchant ship" named General Sherman ran aground in the Taedong RIver in what is now North Korea. The ship was supposedly torn apart by the Koreans. Anyone know anything more about this? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 07:00, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Found it! General Sherman incident we need some sort of disambiguation thingee, I think. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 07:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a link to the entry on the General Sherman Incident at bottom and noted the demise of the ship in the top entry. The sidebar data on when the ship was struck or out of commission needs editing as the ship actually was sent to Korea where it was destroyed in 1866. See also the Wikipedia entry on missionary Robert Jermain Thomas, who was martyred (along with all crew killed) in that skirmish. QuantumK (talk) 02:23, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We need to clarify if this was or wasn't the ship involved in that incident. [1] claims that the Sherman sunk in Korea was USS Princess Royal, which is contradicted by our article on that ship, however. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:09, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
