24 de Agosto de 1818. En la bahía de Kealakekua se estaba escribiendo parte de la historia de California. En ese día se unió a la tripulación de La Argentina el norteamericano Joseph Chapman.

Lo más importante es que la documentación encontrada prueba inequívocamente que Chapman se alistó voluntariamente y no fue forzado en ninguna forma por el Capitán Bouchard. 

Asimismo hemos corregido el párrafo de la biografía de Wikipedia donde se presentaba este error:

Sources disagree on how exactly Chapman came to be in Bouchard’s crew and how he left it. One story, (favored by Chapman himself) is that he was forcibly impressed into Bouchard's crew while on a stop in the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii). Another story is that he was in the crew of a Bouchard corvette named Santa Rosa which mutinied, sailed to Hawaii, and tried to sell the ship to Kamehameha I, ruler of Hawaii. Bouchard, returning from the Philippines, reacquired the ship and Chapman before that deal could be completed.[4] Recently found documents (2016) show that Chapman voluntarily joined the crew. After having been in charge of the Santa Rosa by order of Kamehameha.[5]
