The after part of a model of the Pechili trader type junk 1510 during construction at the Roman Cathlic Church at Liu Kung Tao near Weihaiwei

A close view of the aft end of a model of the Pechili trader type junk number 1510 under construction, taken from above the starboard beam looking aft, down and slightly to port, at the Roman Catholic Church at Liu Kung Tao, near Weihaiwei. The hull is complete and the mainmast, a mizzen mast and a quarter mast sited to port are fitted. Some of the hatch covers and the starboard side oil lamp are in place but no other deck fittings, no rudder and no standing or running rigging are fitted. 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.
