Princess Taiping, Museum ship in Keelung, Taiwan.
The Princess Taiping measures 54 feet in length and 45 feet in width, featuring three cotton sails for traditional wind-powered navigation.
Built as a replica of Ming Dynasty warships, the vessel embarked on a trans-Pacific journey in 2008, covering 17,000 miles through California, Hawaii, and Japan.
The ship demonstrates traditional Chinese shipbuilding techniques without modern fasteners, preserving ancient maritime construction methods from the era of Admiral Zheng He.
Visitors can examine the wooden construction methods, sail configurations, and navigation equipment used during the vessel's momentous Pacific crossing attempt.
The ship sank in 2009 after colliding with a chemical tanker near Su Ao Harbor, just 42 nautical miles from completing its intended round-trip journey.
