Chinesegardenclipper



My nom de plume will be  - ChineseGardenClipper - actually, out of respect to the:





Chinese clipper Keying, visited USA & UK in 1840's





中国帆船 Zhōngguó fānchuán, lit. ( Chinese clipper )


Yet, I'm hardly trying to be funny here; rather journalistic, as the shame of the common title junk, is of course, it's Western translation - with sadly, connotations to be associated nowadays, with the likes of junk mail.


However, From the Han dynasty (220 BCE–200 CE), the Chinese clipper became one of the most successful ship types in history;

incorporating numerous technical advances in hull designs and sail plan that were later adopted in Western shipbuilding yards.

"As an engine for carrying man and his commerce upon the high and stormy seas as well as on the vast inland waterways, it is doubtful if any class of vessel is more suited or better adapted to its purpose than the Chinese or Indian junk, and it is certain that for flatness of sail and handiness, the Chinese rig is unsurpassed."

H. Warington Smith - Historian




Chinese Clipper in Black & White





     ".... and they will have to beat their spears, into pruning shears.."


                                 [  Clippers ]


          These words written over 700 years, Before Common Era.
