Nippon Maru was constructed in 1930 as the training vessel for a mercantile marine school. It had been actively on service for the 54 years until 1984, sailed a total of 1,830,000km (equals to 45.4 rounds of the earth), and brought up as many as 11,500 students. The ship came to be stored as it was at the stone-built dock of Minato Mirai 21 District, and has been open to the public. Lots of education programs are now held in the vessel to introduce wonderful things about the sailing ship, such as quick experience of marine life, or exhibition of all the sails.
