Artwork of the Japanese warship Kanrin Maru (咸臨丸, Unyielding) (circa 1860). This was Japan's first sail and screw-driven steam corvette. The Bakufu sent Kanrin Maru on a mission to the United States, to make a point to the world that Japan had now mastered western navigation techniques and western ship technologies. On 9 February 1860 (18 January in the Japanese calendar), the Kanrin Maru, captained by Katsu Kaishū together with John Manjiro, Fukuzawa Yukichi, and a total of 96 Japanese sailors, and the American officer John M. Brooke, left Uraga for San Francisco.
