Were all Chinese junks subdivided?

No. Some were not subdivided, and the wide variation among junks is best studied through detailed plans and contemporary field documentation.

Worcester's Junks and Sampans of the Yangtze documents a wide variety of hulls and construction methods. The study draws on about twenty years in China, with photographs, drawings, and plans made by its author. Its coverage includes rudders, compasses, anchors, and the arrangement of the hull. Some junks lacked subdivision, so claims about their construction need to be checked against the particular types and plans.
