The Tongan-style warship and coastal defense before the Opium War

Weiqiang Zhou | National Palace Museum, Taiwan

Part of T201. History of technology
In T201-A: Ships

同安船為清中葉興起的新型海船，不但廣為民間使用，也被海盜利用，最後並成為清帝國外海水師的主力，其布防遍及渤海到臺灣，是輪船出現前，最具代表性的中國古帆船之一。院藏〈集字號大同安梭船圖〉和〈一號同安梭船圖〉是同安船的重要圖像史料，帆船之型制與彩繪細緻，且有其它奏摺史料配合說明，不僅是本院極為特殊的海洋史藏品，也是海洋史尚未深耕的課題。國立故宮博物院以院藏〈集字號同安梭船圖〉和相關清代檔案為核心，配合相關歷史文獻，以第一手的研究為基礎，運用打造模型船、拍攝紀錄片，製作3D模型和製作展覽等方式，重建同安船與19世紀東亞海洋文明的繁盛樣貌。透過同安船的風華再現，我們可以從政治史、軍事史、經濟史、社會史科學史和海洋史等等不同角度，重新審視18世紀以來臺灣和東亞息息相關的發展脈絡。

Tongan-style Warships, a new type of ship built in Fujian area in the mid-Qing Dynasty, not only widely use in civil and pirates, but also service in the Qing Imperial Navy's before the Opium War. They are the last Chinese sails before steamboat appears. By analyzing the Qing Dynasty Archives in National Palace Museum, we found the deployment and fighting experience of them. Furthermore, we recreate the history and the vessel’s features by scaled wooden model and 3D model.
