The ''Lady Pierce'' was an American merchant vessel, captained by a Mr. Burrows, which escorted castaways to Japan and made port at [[Koshiba]], [[Uraga]], and [[Shimoda]] in [[1854]].
The ship first appeared in Japan on 1854/6/17, when it entered a harbor near Koshiba ([[Musashi province]]) and dropped off a castaway named Yûnosuke. It then sailed to Uraga, but was informed by ''[[Uraga bugyo|Uraga bugyô]]'' [[Matsudaira Nobutake]] to go to Shimoda instead.
