The ''Mariner'' was a British ship which visited [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]] and [[Edo]] in [[1849]].
The ''Mariner'' first arrived in [[Naha]], where its Captain Matheson received letters from both the resident missionary [[Bernard Bettelheim]] asking for Parliament's help, and from the Ryukyuan government asking that the ''Mariner'' take the troublesome missionary away.
The ship later made its way to Edo Bay, where its crew conducted some surveys in defiance of [[Tokugawa shogunate|Tokugawa]] opposition, and then departed.
