One of the most popular types of junk boats is the Duckling, which was traditionally used for fishing in Hong Kong's coastal waters. These boats were known for their distinctive shape, with a tall mast and a flat-bottomed hull that allowed them to navigate shallow waters. The name "Duckling" comes from their small size, which was designed to resemble a duckling swimming on the water.
Over time, the use of junk boats declined, and they were replaced by more modern vessels.
