Primary Sources Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. N.p.: n.p., n.d. N. pag. The Annals of the Chosun Dynasty. Web. 3 Dec. 2011. <http://sillok.history.go.kr//.jsp>. I couldnt obtain these books, but I found scans of them online. The Annals of the Joseon (Chosun) Dynasty is a series of over eight-hundred books. These annals contain extremely well kept and detailed records for nearly every day during the Joseon Dynasty. As these records are highly accurate, they will be of good use. The site on which these scans can be found is in Korean, but there are English instructions for the navigation of the online annals. Seoul National University has scanned some, but not all, pages of the annals and provided modern Korean translations.

Burrese, Alain. Admiral Yi Sun-shin. Jade Dragon Online. Jade Dragon Online, n.d. Web. 9 Oct. 2011. <http://www.jadedragon.com//.html>. This article had been published in The Korea Herald as well as The Tao of Warriorship and it focuses mostly on Admiral Yi and his accomplishments. It gives an overview of his life while being more specific at some points. It contains quotes of Admiral Yi and also an excerpt from his personal diary. Jade Dragon Online is a source for Asian Culture.

Cultural Heritage Administration. Hyeonchungsa. Hyeonchungsa Shrine Office, 2004. Web. 4 Nov. 2011. <http://www.hcs.go.kr//.asp>. Because I could not actually go to this shrine, I found it on the internet. The Hyeonchungsa

Shrine is dedicated to Admiral Yi and houses many relics related to the Admiral. These relics will be good primary sources for my project. This site is originally in Korean but also has an English option, making it more accessible to Americans and other English readers. The Cultural Heritage Administration hosts a variety of historical information related to culture.

Cultural Heritage Administration. World Heritage. Republic of Korea, 1996. Web. 28 Nov. 2011. <http://jikimi.cha.go.kr//_heritage/.jsp>. This site is about the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. It contains multiple images of the many volumes of the annals which will be good primary sources. This site details how these records were made and maintained to be in such good condition today as well as some general information about them.

KoreanHero.net. Admiral Yi Sun-sin: A National Hero of Korea. Admiral Yi Sun-sin - A Korean Hero. KoreanHero.net, n/. Web. 19 Sept. 2011. <http://www.koreanhero.net//.htm>. This website has the potential to be most helpful as it has excerpts from Admiral Yis War Diary, a firsthand account of what happened. The diary, of course has been translated from the original Korean for the convenience of people who read English. There are other parts of this site that may prove to be useful as well, such as the information on kobukson, which in English means Turtle Ship. Korean Hero Dot Net is a site that details a variety of Korean heroes from the past.

The Life of Admiral Yi Sun Shin. Oocities. Oocities, 2009. Web. 3 Nov. 2011. <http://www.oocities.org/_sun_shin_adm/.html>. This site has a compilation of maps, paintings, and writings. Though the paintings may not be useful, as they do not have any details other than the year they were painted. The maps and writings, however, are from the Nanjung Ilgi and Admiral Yis Memorials to Court. The maps in particular will be of use and are good primary sources. Oocities is basically an online encyclopedia that has information on almost everything.

Meng, Leong Kit. The Zhuge Nu. DragonSeedLegacy, 2005. Web. 4 Dec. 2011. <http://www.grandhistorian.com//zhugenu.html>. Though this site focuses on the zhuge nu, an early crossbow used during the Imjin war, it contains a picture of part of a battle scroll from the Imjin war as well as diagrams of the zhuge nu and a photo of an actual zhuge nu that was excavated from a Chu Tomb. The battle scroll and the various zhuge nu relics may be of use. Grand Historian Dot Com is a site that has articles about history from East Asia, most specifically China.

Public Relations of Korea. Home Page. The Man Who Transforms Korea. Public Relations of Korea, n/. Web. 19 Sept. 2011. <http://yisunsin.prkorea.com/>. Now, this website covers almost everything there is to know about Admiral Yi Sun-Sin. The site is practically dedicated to him and his name is even foremost in the URL. The information on this site spans from debunking myths about Admiral Yi, to the battles he fought (he never lost a single one), to who he was, to the arsenal he used, which included kobukson. The Public Relations of Korea is just what its name says, this particular site of

theirs is for the Korean hero Admiral Yi Sun-sin.

Sun-sin, Yi. Nanjung Ilgi. N.p.: n.p., n.d. Print. Written in from 1592 - 1598, the Nanjung Ilgi holds Admiral Yis own words, thoughts, and experiences. It is the war diary of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, it has since been rewritten and translated, the translation I used was in English. This book will be very useful for my project.

Wikipedia. Turtle Ship. Wikipedia. N.p., n.d. Web. 9 Oct. 2011. <http://en.wikipedia.org//_ship>. Yes, I know its Wikipedia, but it has lots of valid (corresponding with other sites) information that could be useful for my research. It includes the construction and the structure, internal and external, of the ship as well as approximated numbers for the amount of people manning it. And it goes over some of the weapons that had been used on the turtle boats. Most important, it contains a photo of a line drawing of kobukson scanned directly from the collected works of Admiral Yi which is why it is a primary source. Secondary Sources Blue Cottage Taekwon-Do. Gup Patterns: Choong Moo. Blue Cottage Taekwon-Do. Blue Cottage Taekwon-Do, n/. Web. 19 Sept. 2011. <http://www.bluecottagetkd.com/.html>. This website includes the history behind the Taekwon-Do pattern called Chung-Moo as well as the pattern itself along with its interpretation. It also has pictures and diagrams of the kobukson. This is relevant because Taekwon-Do is where I first learned of Admiral Yi

and I felt that it was a good place to start. Blue Cottage TaeKwon Do is the website of a TaeKwon Do studio called Blue Cottage.

Brcke-Osteuropa. Yi Sun-sin 1. 13 June 2011. Wikipedia. N.p., n.d. Web. 4 Dec. 2011. <http://en.wikipedia.org//:Yi_Sun-sin_1.jpg>. This is a photo of a statue of Admiral Yi. The statue itself is a memorial for Admiral Yi and it depicts him in his battle clothes with a hand on the sword by his side. This particular statue is in South Korea. As we all know, Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that tends to have somewhat questionable authenticity to its information.

Caraway, Bill, and Korean History Project. Ch 12 - Japanese Invasions: The Imjin War. Korea in the Eye of the Tiger. Bill Caraway, n.d. Web. 9 Oct. 2011. <http://koreanhistoryproject.org///.htm>. This site details the Imjin war that Admiral Yi and the kobukson were a part of. Mr. Caraway is unbiased in his research and gives both sides of the story: Admiral Yis side and Toyotomi Hideyoshis side. The resources each had are listed and battles are described. The Korean History Project is a project that is for the unearthing and explaining different parts of Korean history.

CO2 Comics, and Onrie Kompan. Home Page. Yi Soon Shin: Warrior and Defender. Onrie Kompan Productions, 2009. Web. 19 Sept. 2011. <http://www.onrie-kompan.com/>. This site is apparently the official website for the graphic novel series being made about Admiral Yi. But that doesnt mean that it cant be helpful. This site, in the characters

section has information on the ships that Admiral Yi used, including kobukson. CO2 Comics is, of course, a comic producer.

Dynamic Korea. Geobukseon. Yeosu City, 2005. Web. 4 Nov. 2011. <http://www.gbs.go.kr//.html>. This is an amazing secondary source. Not only does it give information on geobukseon, Admiral Yi, and the Imjin war, but it details major battles in an interactive multimedia presentation. This site will be very useful. It also has a 3d virtual tour of geobukseon. Dynamic Korea shows parts of the history of Korea in a dynamic fashion.

HwarangMujahideen. Immortal Admiral Yi Soon Shin . YouTube. Web. 8 Jan. 2012. <http://www.youtube.com/?v=t32cdxiEmkk>. This source is a piece of theme music from a Korean Drama about Admiral Yi. Its really not the best source to glean information from but it is evidence that the Admiral is still honored and remembered for his service to his country. This drama airs on KBS, the Korean Broadcasting System. Korean Turtle Ship. James Adams Historic Enterprises. N.p., 2010. Web. 9 Oct. 2011. <http://www.jamesadamshistoricenterprises.com//.html>. This site focuses solely on the turtle ship. It tells how the turtle ship came to be and how it came to be used. It also tells what weapons were put to use on it and goes over the design of the boat piece by piece. James Adams Historic Enterprises presents much information on pieces of history from all around the world.

Mars1936. Technology Korea - a powerful battleship of the 16th century . YouTube. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Jan. 2012. This video describes and shows the Kobukson and how it was used in battle, giving specific details about different weapons that were used. The information in this video will be useful to my project, perhaps enough that it will warrant a place in the final product.

Lots of Tips. Turtle Ship. Lots of Tips. N.p., 2011. Web. 9 Oct. 2011. <http://lotsoftips.net/ship.html/>. This site details the physical characteristics of the kobukson and how it was used, especially by Admiral Yi. It includes when, where, and by whom the boat was created. And though there are not actually any of the original turtle ships today, many replicas, both lifesized and scaled, have been made. Lots of Tips is a website that is somewhat of an encyclopedia for the way it has tips for almost anything you could think of, though it also has some historical articles as well.

Prkorea. Admiral Yi Sun-sin. YouTube. N.p., n.d. Web. 13 Jan. 2012. <http://www.youtube.com/? v=H7svUjIXbVk>. This video outlines battle tactics used by Admiral Yi during the Imjin War as well as the basic design and use of the turtle ship. It corresponds to information I have so far found, so it will be a good source. As it is a video I should be able to use it in my project.

Yang, Sung-jin. Historical Facts and Faulty Myth About Kobukson. &#53076;&#47532;&#50500;&#54756;&#47092;&#46300;

&#50577;&#49849;&#51652; &#44592;&#51088; (The Korea Herald Reporter, Yang Sung-jin). Yang Sung-jin, 2011. Web. 19 Sept. 2011. <http://web.me.com///.html>. Mr. Yangs website gives insight on the facts and myths of the kobukson from the view of a Korean. Mr. Yang is a reporter for The Korea Herald, giving him the opportunity to research this topic in further depth than most people care to go. The article focuses on the turtle ship but does say a bit about Admiral Yi and also the Hideyoshi Invasion, during which Admiral Yi developed kobukson. Sung-jin Yang is a reporter for The Korea Herald and posts his articles on his blog.
