"The Emperor" Yacht for presentation by the British Government to the Emperor of Japan, 1857. 'This beautiful craft has been built and fitted in the Thames, as a present from the Government of this country to his Majesty the Emperor of Japan; and a sum of £10, 000 was voted in the Navy Estimates for that purpose. The Emperor is a wooden vessel of three hundred tons burden, built by the Messrs. Green, of Blackwall, from designs by Mr. Crewe, of that establishment. She is an elegant model, of beautiful lines, magnificently fitted out by Messrs. Smart, of Finsbury; and propelled by engines of 60-horse power, made by the Messrs. Penn, of Greenwich. Her speed is satisfactory; and the completeness of everything connected with this most gratifying compliment to the foreign potentate reflects the greatest credit on all concerned in her construction and outfit'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
