Description

This plaque describes the Kanrin Maru Monument (see next and previous photo).

It reads:

This monument is erected to commemorate the arrival of the first Japanese naval ship KANRIN MARU in San Francisco Bay on 17 March 1860. The KANRIN MARU crossed the Pacific at the same time as the U.S.S. POWHATAN which brought the first Japanese embassy to the United States. PRESENTED to the City of San Francisco by its sister city Osaka as a token of its sincere desire to further strenghten the ties of friendship and goodwill between the United States and Japan and as part of the program to mark the centennial celebration of the opening of their diplomatic relations.
