Maria Ruth Incident

Japanese: マリア・ルース号事件 - マリアルースごうじけん
Maria Ruth Incident
In July 1872 (June 5th year of the Meiji era), the Peruvian sailing ship Maria Luz, carrying Chinese workers (coolies) from Portuguese Macau, stopped in Yokohama for repairs on its way to Peru. One of the Chinese workers, unable to bear the mistreatment, escaped from the ship and was taken into custody by a British warship. The Japanese government, which received the Chinese worker from the British side, prohibited the Maria Luz from leaving port and prosecuted the captain, with Kanagawa Prefectural Governor Taku Oe finding him guilty (with a suspended sentence) of the mistreatment.
