Fukuzawa Yukichi
The Japanese Consulate sponsored a lecture by Prof. Naoyuki Agawa of Keio University about the "Kanrin Maru", which was the first Japanese naval vessel to cross the Pacific Ocean. The ship transported the first Japanese diplomatic delegation, including Fukuzawa Yukichi, Katsu Kaishū, and Nakahama Manjirō. This was the first Japanese ship to enter the port of San Francisco.
