Chinese Junks on the Pacific
Angebote / Angebote:
Van Tilburg's study of the maritime heritage of Chinese junks and their transpacific voyages examines ten junks, how they were made, why and how they travelled, and how the West received them. Combining historical narrative with ethnology, anthropology, maritime archaeology, and nautical technology, he draws on a wide range of newspaper sources, nautical treatise, archaeological work, historical photos and sketches, and the testimony of the sailors themselves.
