Summary

Description
English: Cropped portion of Indian Ocean, showing 2 large ships, identified as jong (Javanese junk), one is a 6-masted ship viewed from aft, the other is a 7-masted ship. It showed inaccuracies with the description of the jong of the time. The number of mast and sail suggest a size of 1000-2000 tons deadweight, which could be attributed to jongs hailed from Java or Sunda. The image is clearly an attempt to depict a large Javanese or Sundanese junk, probably referencing to large Majapahit jong of the 14-15th centuries or the single Pati Unus junk of late 1512 - January 1513. In the 16th century, average deadweight of jongs was 400-500 tons, they were equipped with 4 masts. Since there are crescent moon symbols that represent Islam, these jongs must be hailed from the Muslim area in Java, probably owned by the Demak Sultanate of Central Java (the kingdom of Sunda wasn't Islamized yet). The ships are probably drawn as a reference to Pati Unus' flagship (2000 tons deadweight) that was used to attack Portuguese Malacca in 1513.
Bahasa Indonesia: Bagian terpotong dari peta Laut Cina, menunjukkan 2 kapal besar, diidentifikasi sebagai jong (jung Jawa), satu kapal yang dilihat dari belakang bertiang 6, dan yang lainnya adalah kapal bertiang 7 (bisa lebih karena layarnya menghalangi tiang bagian depan). Gambar ini menunjukkan ketidakakuratan dengan deskripsi jong pada waktu itu. Jumlah tiang dan layarnya menunjukkan ukuran bobot mati 1000-2000 ton, yang dapat dikaitkan dengan jong yang berasal dari Jawa atau Sunda. Gambar tersebut jelas merupakan upaya untuk menggambarkan sebuah jung besar Jawa atau Sunda, mungkin merujuk pada jong Majapahit besar abad 14-15 atau jung tunggal Pati Unus akhir tahun 1512 - Januari 1513. Di abad ke-16 bobot mati rata-rata jong adalah 400-500 ton, mereka dilengkapi dengan 4 tiang layar. Karena ada simbol bulan sabit yang mewakili Islam, jong ini pasti berasal dari daerah muslim di Jawa, kemungkinan dimiliki Kesultanan Demak di Jawa Tengah (Kerajaan Sunda belum masuk Islam). Kapal-kapal tersebut kemungkinan digambar sebagai rujukan kepada kapal Pati Unus (berbobot mati 2000 ton) yang digunakan untuk menyerang Malaka Portugis pada tahun 1513.
