Photographer’s Note

Junks are efficient and sturdy ships of great proportions that traveled across oceans as early as the 2nd century AD. The design is a tradition of China and has endured throughout its history.

This one is the latest navigating in the bay of Hong Kong and has been conceived, designed and painstakingly hand built over a period of 18 months in the shipyard of an 80 year old master craftsman, supervised by an equally experienced 73 year old ship-building veteran, using traditional chinese boat building methods which have now all but died out in Hong Kong.
