Japanese warship Kanrin Maru
Kanrin Maru (Japanese: 咸臨丸) was Japan's first sail and screw-driven steam warship. She was ordered in 1853 from the Netherlands, the only Western country with which Japan had diplomatic relations throughout its period of sakoku (seclusion), by the Shogun's government, the Bakufu.
