An interesting article (over 5 pages) from the Catholic Digest, October 1961
Page 1 includes:
An ancient race of seamen preserves its values by shunning life on land
Fishing junks, manned by the best seamen of the Far East, the Tanka.
Men, women and children were moving with effortless precision to perform duties as old as the sea.
The master, grandfather or father, stood immobile, a figure of Oriental assurance, with his hands on the relic helm.
Their junks arrogantly pushed their way through crowds of sampans.
