PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Boats of China

by Jon

The first Chinese boats

were invented during the Shang dynasty

These boats were really just

planks tied together

Later, came the Junk

These are multi sail boats.

Junks have very unique shapes

With low bows, and high sterns

There are many variations of the junk.

The armed version was called a Tower Ship

They would have three story

buildings on top of the main deck.

The first Chinese Navy

was formed during the Song Dynasty

The Chinese

also had huge treasure ships!

These ships might have been

The first to cirumnavigate the globe.

Fun Fact:

In the Summer Palace in China, there is a marble boat.

The Funny thing is...

It's made of wood and stone, not marble!

The End

Thanks for watching.
