|
|
A junk anchors at a small offshore island
dominated by a tall pagoda. "As an engine for carrying man and his commerce upon the high and stormy seas as well as on the vast inland waterways, it is doubtful if any class of vessel is more suited or better adapted to its purpose than the Chinese junk, and it is certain
that for flatness of sail and handiness, the Chinese rig is unsurpassed." (H. Warington Smith) |
