  • Pyrrhus Concer (March 17, 1814 – August 23, 1897) was a former slave from Southampton, New York who was aboard the whaling ship Manhattan that was the first American ship to visit Tokyo in 1845. Concer belonged to the Pyrrhus family and worked as a farmhand until 1832 (slavery in New York formally ended in 1827) when he worked on whale ships out of Sag Harbor, New York. In 1845 he was aboard the ship captained by Mercator Cooper that picked up 22 shipwrecked Japanese sailors in the Bonin Islands. The American vessel was allowed to enter Edo Bay under escort to return the sailors and Concer became an object of curiosity and is depicted in Japanese drawings of the event. In 1849 he joined many of the people from the East End in the California Gold Rush. Afterwards, he returned to Southampton where he operated a small boat on Lake Agawam. A monument to him was erected near the lake on the northwest corner by Pond Lane. He is buried in the North End Cemetery in Southampton with his wife. (en)
