‘Still waters run deep’ (De rustico amnem transituro) Laurentius Abstemius
Give the sailors you know something special and appropriate for sailing—a gift not for the boat but for that special person aboard My painting makes the perfect nautical gifts and sailing gifts for any boating or sailing enthusiast or anyone who loves sail boats. Finding the right gift for the sailor on your gift list can certainly be difficult: taiche’s sailing gifts offers sail boats and creative sailing designs on custom items for sailors and sailing lovers.
A junk is an ancient Chinese sailing vessel/ship design still in use today. Junks may have developed from very early bamboo rafts which had a high stern. Junks were developed during the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD) and were used as seagoing vessels as early as the 2nd century AD. They evolved in the later dynasties, and were used throughout Asia for extensive ocean voyages. They were found, and in lesser numbers are still found, throughout South-East Asia and India, but primarily in China, perhaps most famously in Hong Kong. Found more broadly today is a growing number of modern recreational junk-rigged sailboats.
The term junk may be used to cover many kinds of boat—ocean-going, cargo-carrying, pleasure boats, live-aboards. They vary greatly in size and there are significant regional variations in the type of rig. To Western eyes, however, they all appear to resemble one another due to their most significant shared feature, their fully battened sails.
