What Made the Junk Ship Unique?

- The junk ship is heavily associated with China and east Asia. Its most distinguishing feature is its sails, which are marked by horisontal battens to stiffen it. This made the sail less efficient in the wind, but easier to handle making for a smaller crew.
Although the junk is associated with China it is of Austronesian design having spread to China from Indonesia.
The junk is also distinguished by employing a larger rudder rather than a keel to keep direction in the water. The structure of the hull is mostly kept by many strenghtening comparments inside. - Наука та технологія
The junks were the first ships to be compartmentalized as well, at least if I understand correctly.
Yes, they used rabbit joints, dowels, caulk to create water tight bulkheads.
Not only that. They also have a central sternpost rudder. The junk rig is also Chinese.
Finally a video with concise information on junks. I love it!
You are very welcome. I am happy that you liked the video🙂
There are a lot of misinformation though
Great video as always! Please also consider making a video on sewn boats, their advantages and disadvantages, and their decline across cultures
Excellent video man. I hope everything is going great for you so you can return to making more videos about eastern naval feats. instantly subscribed
So fascinating how the materials affected the ships and likely affected the maritime cultures of East and Southeast Asia.
True. The possibilities for seawards development is heavily dependent on available materials and the solutions will be defined by this.
interesting, thank you for sharing
Would you please do an explainer all about fishing dories? Stability, handling, how they managed to hold such large capacities in such small spaces, the history, the utility, all of it, would make quite an interesting video, I think. That would be excellent. Thank you!
Thank you for the request. I have now made a video about the dory. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/42hu-EvqXbk/v-deo.html
I hope you like it.
@@leclubdaventuredoutre-mer Nice video. It sounds like English isn't your first language. It would be nice if you could add close captioning to the video, so people could read your script as well.
I love Asian style. Whatever they build, it isn't just practical, it's always beautiful. 🌹⚓
My understanding is the Junk Sail could sail closer to the wind than a square rig but not as close as a triangular Bermuda sail? Most Junk of course sailed in the Pacific which is called that because it is peaceful "passive".
They are very close to par into the wind with the Bermuda Rig and better than the Bermuda Rig in many other cases, providing they are manufactured correctly. However, junks often sailed in coastal waters or in rivers or lakes, and when they did go into the sea or ocean, it was indeed in the Pacific Ocean or the South or East China Seas, which have relatively little wind.
Has anyone heard of a ship known as a Barguentine and the snow
Yeah
Lookalike malay traditional junk schooner from Malaysia our ancient legacy
Only for the sail .
Chinese boat/ship hull is a different design .
Junk or "Jong" itself come from Javanese
@@ulfimaulanaghifariThe origin is Chinese.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165No, malay people used tanja sails.
@@tftfgubedgukm7911 nope, a lot of studies and article said that Chinese copy Djong. Mongol defeated in the sea by Singosari a lot of time before even Majapahit (Village) established
Not sure if speech impediment, or Dutch, but either way, hard to listen to and understand....
Train your ears. Move to a more cosmopolitan part of the world. Meet different people for the first time in your life.
@@TheSilence1 get a speech therapist
He spoke perfectly. A slight accent detected, but I have no problem understanding him. See the comment above...I agree with him. Maybe get out more...
China copypaste from Jung Jawa ship
Funny fake news and disinformation.
China only copied the sail .
Chinese boat/ship hull is different to that of SE Asian boats .
They are still the first ones to section off their ship hulls and fully baton their sails
Chinese ships don't have bipod masts and outriggers. They have bulkheads and a sternpost rudder.
Nonsense.. If Java so great.. By now they should make great battleship. Till date Non and have to depend on foreign make ships. China now the world biggest ship builder.. Trust you or trust China?
@@truthful3777 Javanese were indeed great shipbuilders and seafarers. But to say the Chinese copied their ship is baseless. Where are the similarities?
