- Synopsis
- This image shows two images of a boat, one at the top and one at the bottom of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image at the top of the page is shown from the side. The front of the boat is on the left and the stern on the right. There is a person standing in the front of the boat. He is facing you with the arm to the left hanging down and the arm to the right holding on to part of the boat's roof support. His feet cannot be found as they are in the well of the boat and hidden by the boat's side wall. The tops of his rubber boots can be found. The roof support goes right, to the very end of the boat. Halfway along the hull of the boat is a pink covering which is protecting some boxes the boat is delivering. The boxes cannot be found. Above the right end of this covering is some of the main grey roof canvas. This goes to nearly the end of the roof support. There is a person sitting in the stern also facing you. His legs and hands cannot be found as they are hidden by the boat's side wall. To the right of him there is a vertical strut supporting the roof structure. To the right of this is the engine to drive the boat. The drive shaft goes down through the hull into the brown muddy river water. The hull stretches across the page to its pointed front end on the left. The water surface is shown by a dashed line. At the bottom of the page is a front view of the narrow sampan. At the top of the image is the thin curved canvas roof. This is supported by a thick curved beam on two vertical struts. The horizontal parts of the roof structure are shown as the end circles of the beam. Down from this is the curved pink covering protecting the boxes. The top of three of the boxes are down from this. At the bottom of the image is the front end of the boat. Sampans are a very common form of water transport in China and Southeast Asia. They are used for transporting people, goods and livestock on inland rivers.
