Well, this seems reasonably definitive, though it is on the Korean
mainland opposite Tsushima Island, according to the map on P. 31 of this
paper:

It is therefore evidently NOT one of the harbors on Tsushima Island.
Thanks to Quentin for passing this along.

Tsaulian Harbour is the historical name for Chosan Harbor (Tsaulian is
an old British romanization of Chosan 草梁).
The best modern Korean name is Ulsan Hang (Port of Ulsan) or
specifically the area near Jangsaengpo, coordinates: approximately 35^∘
31′N,129^∘ 22′E (Ulsan Bay, or specifically the northern inner harbor
known as Ulsan Hang). Today, the area is one of the most industrialized
harbors in the world, home to the Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard. The
"mud in 7 fathoms" is now part of a massive commercial shipping and
industrial hub.
