Japan To-do:

From the pictures, the Kaiyo Maru is ship-rigged (square sails on all three masts). Should it really be called a sailboat?

The armament with 18x160cm (!) cannon seems somewhat implausible. Maybe its 16cm? Or maybe some other misunderstanding? From the time the ship was built, 16cm is plausible, as would correspond to a 32 pounder (or, depending on measuring tolerances and unit translations, up to a 42 pounder). Other possible (for the time) cannon sizes would be 68 pounders. --Stephan Schulz 15:25, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yes, typo, the true figure is 16cm. Thanks PHG 14:10, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

What is now visible at Esashi is only a replica created in 1990, but not the ship just whose parts were salvaged in late 70's and early 80's. Please could someone correct the article and title of the external link? Thank you. --210.237.246.83 15:52, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
