In 1879, the New York Herald reported the arrival of John Jacob Astor in China. Supposedly, he had lost his fortune to a false Chinese scheme and wanted to prevent this from happening to others.

Thomas Jefferson was running for president at this time and visited Astoria with his wife during his trip to Washington DC.

In 1803, a wealthy American businessman, John Jacob Astor, set out on a voyage that would lead him to the end of the earth.
