The American spy ship Peublo was seized in the 60's by the North Korean Navy, while it was performing a mission in this country's territorial sea. Less than one year after, the crew was sent back to the US, after the American government issued an apology letter to North Korea. The ship was kept by the North Koreans and is now located in Pyongyang, where one century before, another American ship, the Shermann, was said to be sunk by the grand father of Kim Il Sung.
