A Sampan is a relatively flat bottomed Chinese wooden boat from 3.5 to 4.5 meteres (approximately twelve to fifteen feet) long. Some sampans include a small shelter on board, and may be used as a permanent habitation on inland waters. Sampans are generally used for fishing or transportation, in coastal areas or rivers. It is unusual for a sampan to sail far from land as they do not have the means to survive rough weather.For the source and more detailed information concerning this issue, click on the related links section indicated below.
