[Henny Savenije]

The Forum of Acta Regioni Coreani in connection with the L.G. collection 
from Myongji university in Seoul is pleased to invite you to attend the 
Forum on Friday March 15, 2002, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Myongji 
University Seoul.
The topic of this lecture is "Port Hamilton" The speaker is Robert Neff.

1885-1887  PORT HAMILTON/KOMUNDO

In 1885, Britain had decided to occupy Port Hamilton (Komundo), in a move 
which, it was claimed, would prevent the Russians taking a port on Korea's 
northeastern coast.  The British Navy, on the instructions of the Cabinet, 
sent three ships to Port Hamilton in April 1885, although at first the 
British flag was not hoisted over the islands.  This took place without any 
consultation with Korea.  Neither were the Chinese or Japanese governments 
informed, though both considered that this was a matter which directly 
concerned their interests.  However, when there was a reduction in 
Anglo-Russian tension over Afghanistan in 1886, it was decided to end the 
occupation.

After the forum there will be the opportunity to discuss matters with the 
speaker and some snacks and drinks.
