Former G&M Chief Co-Edits Book on Perry and Japan Ship Clerk’s Journal Reveals Intriguing Details

William Speiden Jr. was a teen-aged clerk on the flag ship of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry that was on its way in 1852 to “open” relations between America and the isolationist Japanese nation. The 16-year-old sailor captured important details about the historic trip in a journal that he kept until 1855. It is now the subject of a new book that was co-edited by former G&M Chief John A Wolter. With Commodore Perry to Japan: The Journal of William Speiden Jr., 1852-1855, was published by the Naval Institute Press. It is available as both a paperback and a E-book. A Journey of a Lifetime As a young sailor, Speiden saw many wonders on his voyage. His ship depart- ed Philadelphia in March 1852. After sailing down the east coast, the ship headed into the Atlantic Ocean. Dock- ing at St. Helena, which is roughly in the middle of the ocean, the clerk visited the house and grave of Napoleon, who had been imprisoned there by the British.
