    I made this model in fuzhou.

    Yes.“shaohsing ch'uan” = "shaoxing chuan"

    Because,in the early 20th century, foreign wrote before is to use "shaohsing ch 'uan".

    According to our understanding , the "Amoy" have been parked in Echo Bay (New Rochelle, N.Y.) from 1950s, and then was sold by captain Nilson . Record said : "The Amoy was lost in a storm near Cape Hatteras in 1961 。" But not detailed, just one sentence only .
    I can not open the link you provided .
