*''Built: [[1792]], [[1835]]''
*''Japanese'': 泰宝丸 ''(Taihou maru)''
The ''Taihô-maru'' was a private ship constructed and used by the [[Hosokawa clan]] lords of [[Kumamoto han]] as an additional alternative to their chief official personal vessel, the ''[[Naminashi Maru]]''.
The ''Taihô-maru'' was originally built in [[1792]], but was dashed upon the shore and wrecked in an earthquake shortly after its completion; the ship was then rebuilt in [[1835]]. Covered in [[lacquer]] along its entire length, the ''Taihô Maru'' was ornately decorated, and served as a display of Hosokawa power, wealth, and cultivation.
