*''Japanese'': 豊瑞丸 ''(Houzui maru)''
The ''Hôzui-maru'' was a steel steamship imported by [[Satsuma han]] in [[1864]], via [[Nagasaki]], through the assistance of British merchant [[Thomas Glover]]. Originally named the ''Number One'', it was renamed ''Hôzui-maru'' by Satsuma.
The ship was equipped with an internal steam engine of 105 horsepower. It was not armed with any cannon.
The ''Hôzui-maru'' carried the [[1872]] Ryukyuan embassy (led by Prince [[Ie Chochoku|Ie Chôchoku]]) to Tokyo.<ref>Yonami Takeo 与並岳生, ''Shô Tai ô, Ryûkyû shobun'' 尚泰王・琉球処分, vol 3 (下), Naha: Shinsei shuppan (2009), 30.</ref>
