Description
SquareTrade © AP6.0 History In the year 1860, the South China Sea continued to be an attractive and thriving refuge for pirates. Sea trade in and around the Orient was flourishing, while the local governments did little to help. China was gradually breaking apart into civil war, and Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour had so much sea traffic that it became impossible for the British to police it. Trade between Hong Kong and other South China seaports were bustling with merchants transporting commodities, slaves and even more sinister cargo. Only the bravest dared stow opium, for fear of British patrols or worse, bloodthirsty pirates. The illegal opium trade could bring a high reward and all too often, a cruel death. The last thing any ship loaded with precious cargo wanted to encounter was a Chinese Junk loaded with cannons ready to fire. Pirate junks lurked throughout the rivers and harbors of China and Hong Kong, and it was often impossible to tell whether they belonged to merchants or pirates until it was too late Our Model · 18" long x 18" High · Plank on frame construction, each strip of wood is applied to the hull one at a time · Made from Linden Wood. One of the best quality woods available and typically used for high quality model boats. · Meticulously painted to stand out when displayed · To build this ship, extensive work was done using various sources such as drawings, copies of original plans and photos of the actual ship.
