Chinese Ocean Junk Ship Model – Handcrafted Wooden Sailing Vessel

This is not a decorative ship. It is an ocean-going junk — a handcrafted wooden sailing model made to order in the Ocean Relic Studio workshop in Zhoushan, Zhejiang.

The Chinese junk is one of the most capable sailing vessels ever designed — its battened lug sails adjustable for wind from almost any direction, its compartmentalized hull divided by internal bulkheads centuries before European shipbuilding adopted the same technology. It sailed the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea long before European explorers reached those waters. This model captures the ocean-going junk at its most recognizable: deep hull, layered wooden planking, traditional battened sails, carved bow and stern — every plank shaped individually, every sail faithfully reproduced, in our Zhoushan workshop, founded in 1980 by craftsmen who inherited this form from a living maritime environment.

Who This Is For

The ocean-going junk is the most iconic vessel in our range — the silhouette that most people associate with Chinese maritime history. It suits a living room, a study, an executive office, or any space where the owner wants a centerpiece with genuine historical weight and visual presence.

As a gift, it is well-suited to the maritime history enthusiast, the collector of Asian art and objects, or anyone who wants to give something that carries a story — not just a shape.
