		This precaution should certainly have been taken after passing Tsushima Island even though the fix at that point indicated that the ship had made good her course of 305° true.
		And in view of the possible misinformation as to the location of the light utilized in obtaining the 1636 fix, it is not extreme to state that a proper precautionary measure was that Appellant should have checked this visual fix with another fix obtained by celestial navigation when approaching a comparatively strange shore at night.
		The absence of the proper light characteristics should have caused a man with Appellant's experience to suspect that his ship had been set off her course by a strong current after passing Tsushima Island or that the 1636 fix was inaccurate and a steady set had been experienced since starting across the Korea Strait.

	[KS] re: Tsushima/Taema-do
		My view, though, is that Tsushima was not a Korean tributary, because its relationship with the island also provided a relationship with Japan proper, and in fact the latter was a particular goal of both the KoryO and ChosOn governments.
		Remember that the normalization of 1443 was negotiated in Japan with the Ashikaga shogunate, not on Tsushima with the daimyo^, although he was a party on the Japan side.
		If you think that the "ChosOn government treated the island as Korean territory," I would welcome a discussion of the details of this treatment, specifically, how that treatment concretely operated on Tsushima, and what is the definition of "territory" for purposes of this discussion.

		Not only that, but no Korean historical source from the dynastic period actually CLAIMS that Tsushima IS a Korean island as a matter of national territory and governance; indeed, mentions of Tsushima in any context are extremely rare for the periods preceding the ChosOn dynasty.
		It was contained in a special edict (or "instruction," ) on the eve of the Tsushima campaign, addressed to the entire Korean population, and was clearly intended to raise morale, and present the campaign as a righteous cause.
		He etymologized Tsushima as coming from "tu shima", which he said was obviously a reflex of Korean "tu sOm" (< syem), meaning "two islands." It is true that today Tsushima is indeed two islands.
