Besides fishing a junk must provide a home for a complete family including children, parents and grandparents, dogs, cats and chickens. It must provide shelter and warmth in the winter and be cool and airy in the humid summer. There must be a provision for keeping the fish alive in the flooded wet hold and space for drying and repairing the nets (hence the beams all around the deck).
'Keying II' was built in Hong Kong for the Hong Kong in London festival in battersea park.
She was presented to the Hong Kong government by Sir Yue-Kong Poe CBE, who subsequently presented her to the Association.
