YOKOSUKA

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 921 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
YOKOSUKA , a seaport and naval station of Japan, on the W. shore of
Tokyo
  Bay, 12 M. S. of
Yokohama
 . The town is connected by a branch line with the
main
  railway from
Tokyo
 . The port is sheltered by hills and affords good anchorage. The site was occupied by a small fishing
village
  until 1865, when the
shogun
 's government established a shipyard here. In 1868 the Japanese government converted the shipyard into a naval dockyard, and subsequently carried out many improvements. In 1884 the port became a first-class naval station; and naval
barracks
 , warehouses, offices, hospitals, &c., were established here. The dockyard was first constructed by
French
 
engineers
  ; but after 1875 the
work
  passed entirely into the hands of Japanese
engineers
 .
