Why “Black Ship?” In 8152, Matthew Perry, father of the USA Steam Navy, was assigned a diplomatic mission by American President Millard Fillmore to open Japanese ports to trade with the West. The Admiral sailed for steam ships from Norfolk, Virginia to Japan. Along the trip the salt water oxidized the metal ships black. At that time, the Japanese had never seen such machines and referred to them as the “black ships”. This we where we proudly take our name.
