Never knew about that, interesting....

 Ertuðrul, launched in 1863, was a sailing frigate of the Ottoman Navy. While returning from a goodwill voyage from Japan in 1890, she encountered a typhoon off the coast of Wakayama Prefecture, subsequently drifted into a reef and sank. The maritime accident resulted in the loss of 533 sailors, including Admiral Ali Osman Pasha.^[2] Only sixty-nine sailors and officers survived and returned later home aboard two Japanese corvettes. The event is still commemorated as a foundation stone of Japanese-Turkish friendship.
