Chinese treasure ship

A Chinese treasure ship (simplified Chinese: 宝船; traditional Chinese: 寶船; pinyin: bǎochuán, literally "gem ship") is a type of large wooden Chinese junk in the fleet of admiral Zheng He, who led seven voyages during the early 15th-century Ming dynasty. The size of the treasure ships, the largest ships in Zheng He's fleet, has been a subject of much controversy, with some old Chinese records mentioning the size of 44 zhang or 44.4 zhang, which has been interpreted by some modern scholars as over 100 m (330 ft) in length, while others have stated that Zheng He's largest ship was around 70 m (230 ft) or less.

He said that the Chinese made this law about banning ships from Canton for fear of the Javanese and Malays, for it was believed that one of their junks would rout 20 Chinese junks. China had more than a thousand junks, but one ship of 400 tons could depopulate Canton, and this depopulation would bring great loss to China. The Chinese feared that the city [...] The size and construction of the jong required expertise and materials that were not necessarily available in many places, therefore the Javanese junks were mainly constructed in two major shipbuilding centers around Java: north coastal Java, especially around Rembang–Demak (along the Muria strait) and Cirebon; and the south coast of Borneo (Banjarmasin) and adjacent islands; built by the Javanese. These places have teak forests, whose wood is resistant to shipworm.: 272: 33 Southern Borneo's

  The shipyard was under the command of Ministry of Public Works "Ministry of Works (imperial China)"). The shipbuilders had no control over their lives. The builders, commoner's doctors, cooks and errands had lowest social status. The shipbuilders were forced to move away from their hometown to the shipyards. There were two major ways to enter the shipbuilder occupation: family tradition, or apprenticeship. If a shipbuilder entered the occupation due to family tradition, the shipbuilder learned [...] The Ming voyages were large in size, numbering as many as 300 ships and 28,000 men. The shipbuilders were brought from different places in China to the shipyard in Nanjing, including Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Huguang (now the provinces of Hubei and Hunan). One of the most famous shipyards was Long Jiang Shipyard (zh:龙江船厂), located in Nanjing near the Treasure Shipyard where the ocean-going ships were built. The shipbuilders could build 24 models of ships of varying sizes.

  Peninsula. Approximately 120 years later, in the 1540s–1550s, China’s coasts were being attacked by pirates. Each of these events gave rise to a sudden wave of shipbuilding by the Chinese government. The first led to the creation of the Treasure Shipyard in the early 15th century, and the second to the revitalisation of the Longjiang Shipyard in the mid 16th century. Both of these shipyards were in Nanjing (南京), which lies on the bend of the Yangzi River about 259 km (161 miles) west of [...] (夾江), which skirts present-day Jiangxin island (Jiangxin zhou 江心洲, literally, “island at the heart of the Yangzi”) and leads to the main part of the Yangzi. These gates would have allowed the completed ships to pass out of the dockyard into the Yangzi River on their journey toward Shanghai and the sea. The gates no longer exist and the exit from the basins to the river is blocked by dikes along the riverbank to guard against flooding. A modern road (Jiangdong men beilu 江東門北路) also runs in a [...] end. The Artefacts As mentioned above, approximately 1,500 artefacts were discovered in Basin 6. These include only the loose items. In addition to these, a total of 1,615 pieces were embedded in the bottom of the basin. Of the loose artefacts, 1,000 were made of wood, 600 of iron, and 355 of pottery. These items seem to derive primarily from the infrastructure of the yard rather than from the ships themselves, although there were some ship parts among the finds. The discussion of the finds
