The ''Banryû-maru'' was a steam yacht, according to some sources a pleasure craft, given to the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] by [[James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin]] in [[1858]] as a gift from [[Queen Victoria]]. Originally known as the ''Emperor'', it was later renamed ''Banryû-maru''.<ref>Mitani Hiroshi, David Noble (trans.), Escape from Impasse, International House of Japan (2006), 283.; Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 2 (1937), 596.</ref>
