The Chôyô-maru was a steam warship constructed by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] government on the request of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. It was delivered to the shogunate at [[Nagasaki]] on [[1858]]/5/3; at first called the ''Edo'', it was later renamed ''Chôyô-maru''.
Following the [[Meiji Restoration]], the Chôyô-maru came into the possession of the newly-formed Imperial Japanese Navy. The following year, it was sunk by the ''[[Banryu-maru|Banryû-maru]]'', a ship belonging to the [[Republic of Ezo]], in the [[1869]] [[Battle of Hakodate]].
