#Satsuma Province in what is now #Kagoshima Prefecture was a crucial player in the #MeijiRestoration; the #Daimyo of Satsuma rose in rebellion against the #TokugawaShogunate in the #BoshinWar. As a result, many early Meiji government officials and #IJN naval officers came from here. #Japan #history
It’s #WarshipWednesday! The battleship #Satsuma was laid down at #Yokosuka Naval Arsenal on the 15th of May 1905 and commissioned 25 March 1910. She did not see action in the #FWW but was part of a squadron that took custody of the #Carolines and #Palau from #Germany in 1914.

Enomoto Takeaki 榎本 武揚 was one of the founding fathers of the #ImperialJapaneseNavy and one of the most colorful characters of the #MeijiRestoration. He was a member of the #Tokugawa Clan and so was on the losing side of the #BoshinWar. He was declared president of the Republic of Ezo in 1869. 1/3
The Uraga Dock Company was founded by Enomoto Takeaki 榎本 武揚 in 1869. A shipyard had existed here at the mouth of the Uraga Channel near #Yokosuka since the early 19th century. The first Japanese-built Western-style warship, Hōō Maru #鳳凰丸, was built at #Uraga in 1848 for the #TokugawaShogunate 1/3
