I am sorry to bother the group with yet another question.....

There was an American mercenary named Burgevine who seized an American ship 
named the General Sherman while it was at Yokohama in late April 1865.  He 
then took this ship back to Taiwan in May and refurbished his ship and crew 
with mercenaries and weapons.  He was eventually arrested.

My question is:  Was this the same ship as the General Sherman that was 
destroyed by the Koreans?

Thanks for any assistance...

Robert
