This is the OSPREY that was lost in a typhoon with all hands except for one Japanese person. It was the subject of discussion on this site some time ago, see http://gwulo.com/atom/15930

Thank you for your interest. I nearly didn't take this photograph as the vessel was not a junk or sampan.  How sad to hear that she went down so tragically just two years later.

I managed to attract some great comments about this vessel when I posted about in on my blog a while back: http://hongkongandmacaustuff.blogspot.hk/2014/10/remembering-osprey.html
