This article compares the public reaction of the Anglo-American press with the internal conversations in both nations’ governments. It will demonstrate how, despite intense public condemnation of the British captain, both countries were keen to put the issue to rest in as quiet and amicable a manner as possible. The goal of presenting a united front to the new Meiji government was essential during a new era of imperial co-operation.Key words: Anglo-American relationsMeiji JapanUSS OneidaBombayCharles DeLongLord Harry ParkesshipwreckUnited States Navy Notes1 The author is grateful for the input of the anonymous referees whose comments helped to improve this article.2 The Times, 7 April 1870.3 United States Navy Department, Loss of the United States Oneida, 84.4 Ibid., 79; New York Herald, 10 March 1870.5 Jenkins, Britain and the war for the Union, 1–2.6 Ibid., 305; 385–8.7 Foreman, A World on Fire, 191–6.8 Darwin, The Empire Project, 68–9.9 Jensen, The Making of Modern Japan, 270, 274.10 Ibid., 369.11 Ibid., 315.12 Darwin, The Empire Project, 27-8.13 Ibid., 35-6.14 Cain and Hopkins, British Imperialism, 362-6.15 Gordon, A Modern History of Japan, 73.16 Ibid., 74.17 United States Navy Department, Loss of the United States Oneida, 21.18 Ibid., 18.19 Ibid., 12.20 Ibid., 56.21 Ibid., 45.22 Ibid. 26.23 Ibid., 22.24 Ibid., 48.25 Ibid., 62.26 Ibid., 11.27 Ibid., 84.28 Boston Daily Advertiser, 10 March, 1870.29 United States Navy Department, Loss of the United States Oneida, 11.30 Ibid., 43, 69.31 Ibid., 46.32 Ibid., 69.33 Columbian Register, 19 Mar. 1870.34 United States Navy Department, Loss of the United States Oneida, 16, 74.35 Philadelphia Enquirer, 11 Mar. 1870; Columbian Register, 2 Apr. 1870.36 United States Navy Department, Loss of the United States Oneida, 79.37 Ibid., 18, 23.38 Ibid., 40-1.39 Ibid. 25.40 Ibid., 67-8.41 Ibid., 25.42 The report was widely circulated in the London and provincial press, e.g., Gore’s Liverpool General Advertiser, 10 Mar. 1870; and The Graphic, 12 Mar. 1870.
