Photo showing man, possibly first Japanese to live in U.S., found

Janice Hodson, curator of the New Bedford Free Public Library in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, shows a photo of a man who could be Nakahama Manjiro (L), the first Japanese known to have lived in the United States, with a Caucasian man, who could be William Whitfield, on April 11, 2015. Whitfield was the skipper of a U.S. whaling ship that rescued Nakahama, better known as John Manjiro, and a few other fisherman colleagues when their fishing boat became stranded on an uninhabited isle in the Pacific Ocean in 1841.
