支倉常長
The American freighter "Auckland" picked up seventeen survivors from the sea and brought them to San Francisco in February 1851. This was the second time Japanese castaways would come to San Francisco. John Manjiro was the first, although Hasekura Tsunenaga had earlier sailed past Cape Mendocino. The "Eiriki Maru"'s cook, Sentarō, then became the first Japanese person known to have his photograph taken, and would soon traverse the continent.
