Title: Chinese Vessels
Caption: From left to right: Two Chinese COASTERS under sail. All wood work was coarse, the timbers seldom hewn as the Chinese thought that a needless expense, yet they painted their ships with the most extravagant colors. Two Chinese GONDOLAS or barks of an original fashion were used in their pleasure voyages especially during their great festivals. Chinese WAR PENISH entirely propelled by oars.Winkles, Sculp't
