[edit] Unsuspectingly?

"The first attack occurred on June 25, 1863. The U.S. merchant steamer Pembroke, under Captain Simon Cooper, was riding anchor outside Shimonoseki Strait, when intercepted and unsuspectingly and fired upon by two European-built warships belonging to the rebel forces" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.82.9.49 (talkcontribs)
