Perry now switches his flag to Susquehanna…

May 1853 CE

Perry now switches his flag to Susquehanna and makes call at Naha on Great Lewchew Island (now Okinawa) from May 17–26.

Ignoring the claims of Satsuma Domain to the islands, he demands an audience with the Ryukyuan King Shō Tai at Shuri Castle and secures promises that the Kingdom will be open to trade with the United States.
