Glynn, James
Naval officer; born about 1800; joined the navy in March, 1815; served in the Mexican War. In June, 1846, eighteen Americans were wrecked in Yeddo and made prisoners in Nagasaki, Japan.
Later Glynn, in command of the Preble, ran within a mile of Nagasaki, and through the urgency of his demand secured the release of all the seamen.
This success led Glynn to propose that the United States attempt to open trade with Japan by diplomacy, supported by a large naval force.
The plan was later successfully carried out under the direction of Commodore Perry.
Glynn was promoted captain in 1855.
He died, May 13, 1871.
