The Sampan
This
small boat is a familiar site in the East. It has a relatively flat
bottom, and can be propelled with a single sail or oars, or even with
poles in shallow water. Given their small size and low profile,
sampans are generally used close to land. They are commonly used for
fishing as well as for transporting small groups of passengers or
amounts of cargo. Sometimes the owner of a sampan erects a small
shelter over part of the deck, leading to them being used as floating
domiciles in certain areas. In this way the model presented can be
used as something of a template for larger vessels or ones that have
more elaborate structures built onto them.
The
deck plan below is sized so that it can be printed and cut
out for use with miniatures or other figures on the tabletop.
Finally, here's a link to the information above presented as a single PDF.
