I can't remember which cartoon it was -- something from the _Rocky & Bullwinkle_ bunch, IIRC -- where the Chinese villain is HQed on one of those. The narrator refers to it as "a Chinese junk", and the villain looks at the "camera" and says "Correction -- Chinese *sampan*". Later in the show, the villain's HQ ship is blown up by the heroes, and the narrator refers to the destruction of the "Chinese sampan"; whereupon the villain pokes his head up from the wreckage, looks at the "camera", and says, "Correction -- *now* Chinese junk."
So whenever I see a Chinese sailing vessel, that's the line I think of. :)

People trying to sell you stuff with blurry photos usually isn't a good sign.
At the risk of sounding negative, I must agree with Andy.:fixit:

Very nice and very interesting time in history for a naval game . . . now that I have sea elves I might be tempted . . .

Great pics.

18 gun Brig

HMS Shannon (Frigate)

Le Bucentaure 80

NOTE: Ratlines and rigging not included.... and rigging that brig was tricky. I used hair on mine, and paper for the sails (they used to supply them without those too). The photos are from GHQ's website.

USS Constitution

Navwar make some very nice 1/1200 junks. And I've just picked up a couple of Pirateology junks for my 1/450 scale games.

No, all pix are from the manufacturers websites.
On the other hand, this is one of mine, taken many, many moons ago.
