Life & career

Mun Sun-deuk (1777-1847) was a late-Joseon fish merchant active around Sinan, South Jeolla. After setting sail in late 1801 he drifted to the northern Ryukyu island of Amami-Oshima in early 1802, then drifted again after sailing the same year and reached northwestern Luzon in the Philippines, staying at Vigan and elsewhere. He is also said to have stayed in Portuguese Macau.

His experiences were written down in the Pyohae sibal by Jeong Yak-jeon, then exiled on Heuksando, which is introduced as including descriptions of a cathedral and customs of foreign lands. Namuwiki presents him as a member of the Sunjil-gong branch of the Nampyeong Mun, but his seat could not be confirmed in other sources, so it cannot be treated as settled.
