1577 Portuguese voyage to Japan
The 1577 Portuguese voyage to Japan was a private Portuguese junk voyage to Japan that was blown off course by a typhoon and driven to the coast of Korea, where the damaged vessel was surrounded by many Korean boats. The Koreans attacked the junk's sampan and killed its crew, after which the Portuguese drove them off with firearms before attempting to repair the junk and escape.
