With the opening of trade with China, and the establishment of an American port on the Pacific with the annexation of California in 1848, the United States anticipated regular and steady traffic between North America and Asia, which would require the need to secure coaling stations for the country's steam ships to refuel ahead of the long journey between continents. Additionally, the American whaling industry had entered the Pacific in the mid-18th century, leading to the need for increased access to safe and reliable harbors, supply stations, and assistance in the event of shipwrecks.

Upon his return to the United States, Perry was offered a grant to write and publish a narrative of his expedition. To complete this, Perry hired Rev. Francis L.

Perry gained distinction as a naval commander during the Mexican-American War and is considered the \"Father of the Steam Navy\" for his promotion of converting the Navy's fleet to steam engines.
