What a surprise today was! For the first time ever, the Japanese invited the general public onboard the Kanrin Maru. Personally, I was very excited and curious to see the Kanrin Maru, especially after all the comments and remarks made by my friends aboard the USS Powhatan. There was already a massive crowd of people when I finally arrived at the dock where the Kanrin Maru was being held. From the murmurs and whispers of the people surrounding me, everyone waiting in line to get onboard were just as excited and curious as I was. When at last I was able to get onboard the Kanrin Maru, I was blown away. The Japanese ships were nothing at all like the American ships!
