Tsushima incident: Russian corvette Posadnik provokes Shogunate reaction

Posadnik left Tsushima in September 1861, following the arrival of Admiral Hope and the presence of Japanese warships.

Admiral Hope arrived in Tsushima with two warships on 28 August. The passages give conflicting departure dates: one states Posadnik finally had to leave Tsushima on 19 September 1861, while another states Birilev and Posadnik left on September 7, 1861, with Oprichnik and Abrek staying in the harbor until the end of September.
