Astonishing series! The bucket as an educational tool is clearly shown with the size of the solar boat versus the keftion. I always though that the size of the mortuory boat was much more constricted, and is a vessel of nearly 50 meters. Thanks, DP!

Good morning, guys!

Here is the drawing of one of the most important trade vessels in the arabic world until the steam era, the migthy baghla (a big dohw) of the south if the Arabic peninsula. Built at Muscat, with noble timber of the west coast of India, it was a dependable ship, rigged with lateen sails, this kind of vessels were able to navigate to the east coast of Africa as well until Indochina and Indonesia. Cheers.

NB: This kind of vessel was also in my memory: probably Sinbad the Sailor was the skipper of a baghla! When I was a child the film The 7th Voyage of Sinbad captured my imagination with the skeletons, monsters and far and exotic lands!

Good morning:
Three large, almost ocean going, chinese junks; each from 3 different regions, just before the massive western influence during the XIX century:

Thank for your feedback, guys!

A mix between western and far eastern maritime traditions, the sino-portuguese Lorcha, from Macau. With a western like hull shape, she was able to be faster than the common junks, but having the chinese junk sail rig, she was also a handy vessel, and manned with little more than a dozen as a trade ship.

I want to thank DP: I did not knew that China lacked of mercantile flag until the mid XIX century. As she is depicted prior to 1830, she Was using the green and White flag used in far eastern portuguese territories, previos to the blue and White royal flag. Cheers.

Good afternoon, guys.

A pair of japanese sail vessels of the first years of the Tokunawa shogunate period. The sengokubune was the standadard trading ship in the Inner Sea and the one depicted was used to transport sake to Edo in the early XVII century.

The Red Seal Junks were privately owned large vessel with the Shogun´s permission for overseas trade. These ocean going vessels, with a typical junk hull form and sail rig, incorpored several western ideas, like the lateen sail in the aft mast, and a bowsprit sail, and were able to reach harbours as far as Siam and the Phillipines. Frequently they were armed with guns and muskets, a practice quite uncommon for japanese trade ships of the era.

Unfortunatelly for Japan, all foreign trade was ended (with the exception of one dutch ship per year) in 1619. Cheers.

Good work. Nice to see more "exotic" sailing ships in SB. Keep it up A.M!

Thanks for your input, B!!!

A pair of japanese war vessels from the Civil Wars era previous to the Tokunawa Shogunate:

The kobayabune or just kobaya, were small, fast and nimble oar (from 6 to up to 20 oars) warships.

The mid-size sekibune, were the most prevalent warship during that turbulent era. Only propelled by oars during combat, a large square sail was used for traslations without enemy at sight. The box-like superstructure was armed with cannons and japanese matchlock muskets.

The bigger vessels, the atakabune, were forbiden during the Shogunate and the dimensions were greatly exagerated in that late period. Cheers.
