Kitamae ships, which achieved the height of prosperity, began to decline in the middle of the Meiji Era.

Due to the advent of the steamship and the progress of communication technology, cargo and information were transferred throughout the country more rapidly and on a larger scale, eventually replacing the ships in the leading role of distribution.


However, it was certainly Kitamae ship owners who dominated their era, supported the Japanese economy and became the driving force of the Japanese shipping industry in the 19th century.
