Seeking info on Moses Peespa, maybe Beseba, a sailor from Fiburg, Finland who was among the 4 crewmembers who survived the shipwreck of the merchant vessal Chesebrough (Cheseborough) Oct. 30, 1889 off the northern shore of Japan. He was listed as age 23 in the Yokohama, Japan newspaper after the event. The surviving crewmembers were rescued by the villagers of Shariki and returned to the United States eventually after the shipwreck. The 19 who drowned were buried by the villagers and have been honored every year since. I'm seeking families of the crewmembers as part of an international friendship project with Shariki.Thanks for any help at all. Helen
