Description - ARMED JUNK x 2 N9036 Kwantung sea-going junk widely used in Southern China in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Although primarily merchant vessels, they were widely both by the Chinese Navy and by Pirates as armed vessels due to their speed and strength. 11 junks of this type served at the Battle of Foochow as part of the Naval Squadron. When armed they could carry 4 or 6 smooth bore guns, usually 24 pdrs.
