[KS] Research question regarding USS Pueblo

[don kirk]

It happens I saw the Pueblo moored at Wonsan in 1995 and then had a guided tour of the vessel in 2005 at its current resting spot on the Daedong River in Pyongyang. (I also saw it there in subsequent visits.) The uniformed official, a middle-aged woman, who showed me around the vessel told me it had sailed around the Korean peninsula in disguise  -- remember, it was originally a commercial vessel (as was the General Sherman, stormed and burnt nearby in 1866) and not hard to return to its original appearance. Not sure, though, if it sailed under its own power or was towed -- or maybe both.Don Kirk

 Greetings, 
  I am hoping that within this august community somebody can share with me some information on the transit of the USS Pueblo from Wonsan to Pyongyang in the late 1990s.  I've seen vague reports of it being towed or disguised as a freighter and moved under it's own power and even references to a negotiated (protected) movement.  I am doing some research for an MA dissertation.  Any information would be of interest,  
all the best
