破舶（下音白司馬彪注莊子云海中大船曰舶廣雅舶海舟也人水六十尺駈使運載千餘人除貨物亦曰崑崙舶運動此船多骨論為水匠用椰子皮為索連縛葛覽糖灌塞令水不入不用釘鍱恐鐵熱火生纍木枋而作之板薄恐破長數里前後三節張帆使風亦非人力能動也）。

Wrecked merchant-vessel (破舶): The second character has the pronunciation of 白. Sima Biao's commentary on the Zhuangzi states that large ocean-going vessels are called 舶. The Guangya states that 舶 is an ocean-going boat. It enters sixty feet into the water and carries more than a thousand men, not counting goods. It is also called a Kunlun vessel. To maneuver this boat, mostly Guluo [i.e. Kunlun people] are used as sailors. Coconut husks are used to make ropes to bind it together, and galangal sugar is poured to caulk it so that water does not enter. Iron nails and plates are not used, for fear that heat from the iron might create fire; it is built by stacking timber boards. Because thin planks might break, they are several li long. It has three sections fore and aft, and sails are spread to catch the wind; it is not something that human muscle alone can move.
