Hi,

The board of education of the village where I was born is investigating the
wrecked ship of the British ship of about 120 years ago.
The monument and anchor in which it is shown that there was the accident
remain.
Five crew were then rescued by villagers.
It seems that it turns out that the saved crew was returned to Britain by
the Ryukyu dynasty.
It is lost for details.

Please let me know the following item of the British ship wrecked in Okinawa
(or Ryukyu) in Japan in 1874.

1.Ship's name ?
2.The purpose of a voyage
3.Crew name ?
4.The situation of five persons' after that which was rescued and was
returned to Britain ?
5.A bereaved family's news ?
6.And others about ?
