JAPAN BY THE JAPANESE

Subsequently the naval school was established at Nagasaki by the Tokugawa Shogun Administration, and instruction in naval matters was given there by Dutch naval officers. The students for admission to this school were appointed by the Tokugawa Administration, and also selected by different clans. Another naval training school was organized at Tokyo (Yedo), with the Kankomaru as a training-ship, and employing both Dutch and English officers as instructors. Some new ships were built at Nagasaki and two ships were bought abroad, one of which, named the Kanrinmaru, afterwards (1860) made a cruise to San Francisco, manned by Japanese officers and crew under Captain Katsu (the late Count Katsu).

In 1857 Her Majesty Queen Victoria presented a steam yacht to the Tokugawa Shogun, and it was named the Hanrio Kan.

In this way the navy of the Tokugawa Administration was slowly gathered together and organized, and the list of ships in 1867, just before the Restoration, was as follows:
