Verny Commemorative Museum, Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Verny Commemorative Museum [1] is a small museum located in Verny Park [2] near JR Yokosuka Station in Yokosuka, Japan. The museum and the park are named after the French naval engineer François Léonce Verny' (December 2, 1837 - May 2, 1908) [3] in appreciation for his great contribution to the modernization of Japan after the end of its isolation. Verny came to Japan in the final days of the Tokugawa Shogunate and in 1865 administered the construction of Yokosuka Naval Arsenal. He himself managed the arsenal from 1866 until the new Meiji government takes over the project. At the time of this collaboration, the techniques of French shipbuilding and innovations for the production of metal hulls were introduced. A huge steam-hammer originally made in Holland and then imported to Japan from France in 1866 is exhibited at the museum. Yokosuka City commemorates his memory each year in November.
日本語: ヴェルニー記念博物館は、横須賀のJR横須賀駅近くのヴェルニー公園にある小さな博物館です。 博物館と公園は、フランスの海軍技術者であるフランソワレオンスヴェルニー(1837年12月2日-1908年5月2日)にちなんで名付けられました。ヴェルニーは徳川幕府の最終日に来日し、1865年に横須賀海軍アーセナルの建設を管理しました。彼自身が明治政府がプロジェクトを引き継ぐまで、1866年から兵器庫を管理しました。このコラボレーションの時点で、フランスの造船技術と金属船体の製造のための技術革新が導入されました。もともとオランダで作られ、1866年にフランスから日本に輸入された巨大な蒸気ハンマーが博物館に展示されています。横須賀市は毎年11月に彼の記憶を記念しています。
