Japan's First Modern Warship.
A contemporary notes that the
first armed ship of modern design
owned by the Japanese was an old
American vessel, and Japan's first
Admiral was an American officer,
The ship was the ram Stonewall,
which the United States captured
in 1865 at
Havana, and which was sold to Japan
being taken to Yokohama
vin the Straits of Magellan by Captain
George Brown, of the United States
Navy.
The first Japanese Admiral was
year for three years, while he was an
ensign in the United States Navy
stationed at Hiogo.
To this we may add that the old
ram lay for many years in Yokosuka
harbor in a dismantled and greatly
dilapidated state, till at longth, about
the year 1880, sho was taken up to
Yokohama, beached on the flats off
the fort at Kanagwa and there broken
up.
