A close view of the bow of a fully rigged model of the Pechili trader type junk number 1510, taken from above the starboard beam looking down and to port. The model is under construction at the Roman Catholic Church at Liu Kung Tao, near Weihaiwei. The bow mast sited to port, the foremast and the starboard side oil lamp on the bulwark have been fitted but no other deck fittings or rigging are in place. 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.
