Katsu Rintaro
Captain of Kanrin Maru
San Francisco
March 19,1860

Today, was very interesting. Our ship, the beautiful Kanrin Maru, was finally opened up to the public citizens of San Francisco. I am pleased to say that everyone was astonished by our ship. It is a great honor to show the Americans the different and exquisite details of our ship. Many oohed and ahhed at our unique carvings and indifferent features. Overall, I would say we had made a great impression on these American folks.
