The ''San Buena Ventura'' was the first ship built in Japan to cross the Pacific Ocean, doing so in [[1610]].
The ship was built for the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] under the supervision of [[William Adams]]; it was constructed in a European style, after the model of Adams' ship the ''[[Liefde]]''. The shogunate's ship was then piloted in 1610 across the Pacific, to New Spain, by Iberian navigators.
