Description - MERCHANT JUNK Small Chinese trading Junk, known as a Foochow Junk, widely used in the 19th and 20th Centuries in the coastal waters around China, particularly at Foochow where the trade from the River Min was loaded on to Ocean going vessels. They were very manoeuvrable under sail, hence were suitable for use in the very crowded harbours without the need for oars.
