Meiji Maru, Museum ship at Tokyo University of Marine Science campus in Etchujima, Japan
The Meiji Maru, built in Glasgow in 1874, stands as a steel-hulled sailing vessel measuring 61 meters in length at Tokyo Marine University.
After serving as a lighthouse tender from 1875, the Meiji Maru transported Emperor Meiji during his northern Japan tour in 1876 and later trained maritime students.
The vessel features intricate Victorian-era wooden interiors, including special chambers reserved for Imperial use and decorated with botanical art panels.
Exterior visits are permitted during university hours, while guided interior tours require advance reservations through the Tokyo Marine University administration office.
The Meiji Maru remains the sole surviving 19th-century steel ship in Japan, designated as an Important Cultural Property in 1978.
