Kaiwomaru - Kaiwomaru

Japanese: 海王丸 - かいおうまる

A sailing training ship belonging to the Nautical Training Institute. It provides maritime training for students from maritime universities and maritime technical colleges across the country. The Nautical Training Institute was made an independent administrative institution under the Independent Administrative Institution Nautical Training Institute Act (promulgated December 22, 1999, and enacted January 6, 2001, Act No. 213). Prior to that, it belonged to the Ministry of Transport for a long time, and came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism when the government was reorganized in January 2001. Since then, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been the competent ministry.

The first Kaiwomaru

In 1928 (Showa 3), the Ministry of Education planned to build it as a training ship for the Merchant Marine School, along with its sister ship, Nippon Maru. In 1930, the Ministry of Education's Nautical Training Institute was established, and Nippon Maru and Kaiwo Maru were completed in the same year and came under the jurisdiction of the institute, starting out as training ships. In 1943, the institute was renamed the Nautical Training Institute, and after passing through the Ministry of Communications, it came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport's Nautical Training Institute in 1945. The first Kaiwo Maru was built at Kobe Kawasaki Shipyard and launched on February 14, 1930. It was a 2,238 gross tons, 97 meters long, 13 meters wide, with two diesel engines and 1,440 horsepower, a four-masted barque-type sailing ship made of steel. Along with Nippon Maru, it was a star sailing training ship in Japan for over 50 years. The ship was praised as the "Lady of the Sea" for its beautiful sailing across the ocean, and has trained over 11,000 sailors. Its total voyage distance was about 1.06 million nautical miles (about 1.96 million kilometers), mainly in the North Pacific Ocean, which is equivalent to circling the globe about 50 times. However, the ship was nearly 60 years old and its deterioration was becoming evident. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport began construction of a new second-generation Kaiwo Maru, which was completed in 1989 (Heisei 1), and at the same time the first Kaiwo Maru was retired. It was later transferred to the Kaiwo Maru Sail Ship Memorial Foundation and moored in Shinminato City (now Imizu City), Toyama Prefecture, and opened to the public as a preserved sailing ship, and the area around it became Kaiwo Maru Park. It holds document exhibitions, marine training, lectures, and events, and regular sailing shows.

The second Kaiwomaru

The second-generation new sailing ship to replace the first-generation Kaiwomaru, it was built at the Uraga Factory of Sumitomo Heavy Industries' Oppama Shipyard and launched on March 7, 1989. Its purpose of use, affiliation, and operation are the same as the first-generation, but the second-generation Kaiwomaru is used not only for navigation training for trainees, but also for experience sailing and marine classes for the general public, contributing to the spread of maritime ideas. 2,556 gross tons, 110.09 meters long, 13.80 meters wide, two diesel engines, two 1,500 horsepower outputs, four-masted barque-type sailing ship.

航海訓練所に所属する帆船練習船。全国の商船大学や商船高等専門学校の学生の海上実習などを行っている。なお、航海訓練所は、独立行政法人航海訓練所法（1999年12月22日公布、2001年1月6日施行法律213号）により、独立行政法人化された。それ以前は、長らく運輸省に属し、2001年（平成13）1月の省庁再編時には国土交通省の管轄とされ、以降も国土交通省が主務省となる。

初代海王丸

1928年（昭和3）文部省が商船学校の練習船として、姉妹船日本丸とともに建造を計画。1930年文部省航海練習所が設置され、同年日本丸と海王丸は竣工(しゅんこう)し同所の所管となり練習船としてスタートをきった。1943年同所は航海訓練所と改名、逓信(ていしん)省を経て、45年から運輸省航海訓練所所管となる。初代海王丸は、神戸川崎造船所で建造、1930年2月14日進水。2238総トン、長さ97メートル、幅13メートル、ディーゼル機関2基、出力1440馬力、4檣(しょう)（4本マスト）バーク型帆船、鋼製。日本丸とともに日本の帆船練習船として、50年以上にわたって花形的存在であった。大海原を帆走する美しい姿から「海の貴婦人」とたたえられ、実に1万1000人を越える海の男たちを育ててきたのである。総航海距離は北太平洋を中心に約106万海里（約196万キロメートル）、地球を約50周したことになる。しかし、船齢60年近くになり老朽化も目立ってきた。そのため運輸省では、新造の2代目海王丸の建造にかかり1989年（平成1）竣工、同時に初代海王丸は引退した。その後、財団法人帆船海王丸記念財団に移管され富山県新湊(しんみなと)市（現射水(いみず)市）に係留、保存帆船として一般公開され、この一画は海王丸パークとなっている。資料展示、海洋訓練・講座・イベントの開催、定期的な展帆などを行う。

2代目海王丸

初代海王丸にかわる第2代目の新造帆船で、住友重機械工業追浜(おっぱま)造船所浦賀(うらが)工場で建造、1989年3月7日進水した。使用目的および所属・運営等は、初代と同様であるが、2代目海王丸は実習生の航海訓練以外に一般人の体験航海・海洋教室などにも利用され海事思想の普及に貢献している。2556総トン、長さ110.09メートル、幅13.80メートル、ディーゼル機関2基、出力1500馬力×2、4檣バーク型帆船。
