The Ottoman frigate "Ertuğrul" left Istanbul on July 14, 1889 for a goodwill voyage to Japan, arriving in Yokohama on June 7, 1890. Following reception by the Emperor Meiji and the Prince Yoshihito Haru, the frigate set sail on September 15, 1890 for the return journey. However, the ship ran into a typhoon and sank on September 17/18 on reefs near Kii Ōshima. 533 sailors including 50 officers and the Rear Admiral Ali Osman Pasha drowned. Only 63 sailors and 6 officers survived. The survivors were brought back to Istanbul by the Japanese Corvettes Kongō and Hiei in October 1890. The accident was the basis for the sympathy in Japan for Turkish people.
