The ''Caroline Foote'' was an American merchant ship which was hired in [[1855]] by [[Yevfimy Vasilyevich Putyatin]] to carry a portion of his crew home to Russia while he remained temporarily in Japan.
Captained by A.J. Worth, the ''Caroline Foote'' entered [[Shimoda]] harbor on 1855/1/27. Putyatin arrived a few days later, on 2/2, from Hedamura ([[Izu province]]) where a new ship was being constructed for his crew following the loss of the ''[[Diana]]''. Putyatin then negotiated for the use of the ''Caroline Foote''.
