| Handcrafted Chinese Pirate Junk Wooden Model Ship 27" This high quality, highly detailed, intermediate level, Chinese Junk Boat Model is Brand New, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).
This Chinese Pirate Junk Model was specially designed & built by the plank on frame method (joining multiple small pieces of wood like Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and other exotic tropical wood together on the hull). The work boat model is built exactly to scale as a Chinese Junk was with many details. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish. Chinese Pirate Junk Lore: In the year Eighteen Hundred and Sixty, the South China Sea continued to be an attractive and thriving refuge for pirates. Sea trade in and around the Orient was flourishing, while the local governments offered only helplessness and apathy. China was gradually breaking apart into civil war, and Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour had so much sea traffic that it became impossible for the British to police. Trade between Hong Kong and other South China Sea ports was bustling with merchants transporting commodities, slaves—and even more sinister cargo. Only the bravest dared stow Opium, for fear of British patrols or worse...bloodthirsty pirates! The illegal Opium trade could bring high reward and all too often, cruel death. The last thing any ship loaded with precious cargo wanted to encounter was a Chinese Junk loaded with cannons at the ready. Pirate Junks lurked the rivers and harbors of China and Hong Kong, and it was often impossible to tell whether they belonged to merchants or pirates, until it was too late! The model measures 27" long from bow to stern. It's a fabulous boat model that will be a conversation piece for any room, office or Chinese restaurant.
