A stern view of a model of the Pechili trader type junk 1510 at Liu Kung Tao, near Weihaiwei

A close view of the aft end of a fully rigged model of the Pechili trader type junk number 1510, taken from above the starboard beam looking aft, down and to port, at the Roman Catholic Church at Liu Kung Tao, near Weihaiwei. The model has a mainmast, a mizzen mast and a quarter mast sited to port. A lug sail is set on each mast as well as a port side studding sail on an outrigger boom abaft the mainmast. A capstan is in the waist abaft the mainmast and a large wicker basket is hanging over the starboard side of the poop. The tops of the masts are out of the picture.
The model, which is displayed on a wooden stand on a box, was commissioned by D W Waters and made by Tung Ya and his assistants at the back of the Roman Catholic Church in Liu Kung Tao, near Weihaiwei. It is now part of the NMM collection with the reference AAE0160. Negatives numbers P34339 to P34346 are of this model.
