什麼是舢舨 ?
舢舨是一種小型的漁船，主要在河涌和近岸水域航行。舢舨既是漁民捕魚謀生的工具，也是他們在河涌載人載貨的日常交通工具。此外，當漁民進行傳統習俗儀式，如紅白二事和端午遊涌時，舢舨也扮演著重要角色。
Sampans are small fishing boats for transporting people and goods. They are indispensable tools for both fishing and daily transportation.When fishermen participate in customary rituals such as weddings, funerals, and the Tai O Dragon Boat Water Parade, sampans also play an important role.

舢舨的大小會根據使用需求和水域航道的特點而有所不同。例如，大澳的舢舨船身較寬，底部平坦，有利於航行時的穩定性；西貢的舢舨船頭較翹，船身較窄，有利於破浪航行。有些專門用來載人的舢舨俗稱「送人艇」，大約長四米半。用來出海捕魚的舢舨體積可能大一至兩倍。
The size and shape of sampans vary depending on the usage and the characteristics of the waterways they navigate. For instance, Tai O sampans have wider hulls and flat bottoms, which enhance their stability during navigation. In contrast, Sai Kung sampans have more pointed bows and narrower bodies, making them better suited for navigating through waves. Sampans specifically designed for carrying people are about four and a half meters long, while those used for fishing are generally one to two times larger.

舢舨主要由大倉、前檔和後檔組成。大倉是主要的活動範圍，而前檔和後檔則用作儲物。前檔可用來存放魚網或漁穫，較大型的舢舨則會在後檔內放置炊具，以便在船上煮食。
A sampan is composed of the front chamber, the deck, and the rear chamber. Major activities are conducted on the deck. The front chamber is used to store fishing nets or catches. In larger sampans, fishermen prepare and cook food, storing cooking utensils in the rear chamber.

舢舨用材
傳統舢舨是用木材製造。舢舨的「底骨」、「馬面」、「尾樑」和「根牽」採用堅硬的杪木製造；「金鼎」則用碌柚木製造；而其他部位，如「橫柴」、「傍板」和「鷂仔」，則使用杉木製造。
Traditionally, sampans are made of wood. The keel, horse-face, transom, and caprails are made of Chao wood. The spiritual piece is crafted from teak. The remaining components, such as floor timbers, planking, and futtocks, are made of fir wood.
