Everything about Nagasaki Naval Training Center totally explained
The was a naval training institute, between
1855 when it was established by the government of the
Shogun, until
1859, when it was transferred to
Tsukiji in
Tokyo.
The decision to build the center, together with the decision to order modern steam warships, was part of the actions taken by the
Bakufu to modernize following the forcible opening of Japan by
Commodore Perry in
1854.
The training center was established by the Dutch settlement of
Dejima in
Nagasaki, where maximum interaction with Dutch naval know-how would be made possible, and was managed by the director
Nagai Naoyuki.
Katsu Kaishū was director of training under Nagai starting from
1855, until
1859, when he was commissioned as an officer in the shogunal navy the following year. Dutch Navy officers were in charge of education, the first one being
Pels Rijcken (in charge from
1855 to
1857), and the second one
Kattendijke (in charge from
1857–
1859).
The center was also equipped with Japan's first steamship, the
Kankō Maru, given by the government of the
Netherlands in
1855.
The future Admiral
Enomoto Takeaki was one of the students of the Training Center.
The Training Center was closed in
1859, and education transferred to
Tsukiji in
Tokyo, where the Kankō Maru was also sailed by a Japanese-only crew. This was followed by the replacement of Dutch teachers with French teachers to train the Japanese in naval warfare.
