Chinese and East Asian Junks and Sampans

Traditional Chinese sailing ships and small boats of East and Southeast Asia, including the junk with its battened sails and the flat-bottomed sampan. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the boat a junk or sampan. It excludes Arab dhows and European ships. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
