Admiral Yi Sunshin

While visiting the King Sejong exhibition in Seoul, I also had a chance to visit the exhibit of Admiral Yi Sunshin. Yi Sunshin is known as a great admiral of the Korean Navy during the late 16th century of the Joseon Dynasty who was said to have shown great courage and creativity during battles with Ming and Japan over 7 years. The exhibit also features the famous battleship, the Panokseon (panel-covered ship), and the Geobukseon (the turtle ship), known to be the best attack ship in its day.
