Nooooo! The Ming dynasty boat sank! I was on it!
Only while it was safe in the harbor. This is the BBC report on the sinking of the Ming dynasty replica junk "Princess Taiping". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8020206.stm
I'm glad all the crew was rescued safely. We went to a talk they gave on how the boat was designed and built. This is the link to my blog entry when we toured it. I am sad.http://aloha-adventure.blogspot.com/2009/01/chinese-mariners.html
