Catatan Portugis menyatakan jong-jong Melayu lebih besar dan menggerunkan daripada kapal perang Portugis.

Catatan China pula menyatakan jong-jong Melayu tidak dibenarkan berlabuh di perlabuhan China kerana terlalu besar dan akan menggangu laluan kapal lain.

Jong terbesar Melayu mampu membawa 500 tan muatan dan hampir 1000 orang penumpang dan panjangnya hampir 100 meter!

Ibnu Batutta menyatakan kapal China terbesar dipanggil Chuan, dan beliau berkata jong Melayu lebih besar berbanding Chuan!

Al Fonso De Albuquerque sendiri sewaktu melihat jong-jong Melayu yang besar itu menggelarnya sebagai “Penggoncang Dunia”!

Dan anak anak kapal Portugis akan berteriak memanggil “Espanto del Mundo” terror dunia apabila berselisih dengan Geliung kepunyaan Sultan Iskandar Muda Acheh Anda boleh bayangkan betapa hebat mega structure Melayu lama!

Orang orang Cina mengelarkan Djong besar melayu yang mempunyai 7 layar sebagai “Kun Lun Po (Bo) kun lun ertinya “kepulauan di bawah angin” atau “negara selatan” dan tercatat pernah belayar sehingga ke Syria. (Kang Tai,260M dan Wan Cheng,300 M)

Manakala orang orang Greek dalam buku “Geographia” menggelarkan Djong besar melayu sebagai “Kolandiaponta” (Plotemy,100 M)

Tapi logic thinking mana pergi semua binaan hebat ni? Mana ilmunya? Menurut Prof Maguin, menjelang akhir abad ke 16 dan 17 teknologi pembuatan jong Melayu makin hilang dan akhirnya pupus.

Kenapa? Kita salahkan penjajah! First of all semua manuskrip kita samada dibakar atau dicuri. Yes kesemuanya, hal yang sama terjadi pada tamadun hebat lain, apabila dijajah, ilmu mereka sekali dicuri.

Apabila Melayu dijajah, mereka tiada waktu yang aman lagi untuk membina jong-jong besar. Nak bina kapal sebesar Titanic tu pun makan bertahun. Inikan jong-jong gergasi Melayu yang memerlukan sumber; tenaga dan harta yang banyak.

Melaka semestinya bukan permulaan kehebatan tamadun Melayu tapi kejatuhan Melaka sememangnya menjadi titik noktah keagungan bangsa Melayu. Jatuhnya Melaka, maka Melayu semuanya dijinakkan dan dihinjak sehingga kini.

Satu lagi jangan ingat perkataan Jong itu dari China. Jong ialah bahasa Melayu asli merujuk kepada kapal besar Melayu. Lalu diambil oleh barat menjadi Junk.

Ya Melayu tak bina bangunan besar-besar but we live with the sea, our hearts are with the oceans. Junks are our mega structures!

Who cares. It's the past. It's not like people today is responsible for the glory days back then. Only losers gets high on nostalgia, even worse when it's not even theirs.

If the ships were so big, how did they lost to the puny Portuguese ships?

kapal malayan?

all i know is mawar eva de jongh

In 1575 siege, Aceh used 40 two-masted galleys with Turkish captains carrying 200–300 soldier of Turk, Arab, Deccanis, and Aceh origins. The state galleys (ghorab istana) of Aceh, Daya, and Pedir is said to carry 10 meriam, 50 lela, and 120 cecorong (not counting the ispinggar). Smaller galley carry 5 meriam, 20 lela, and 50 cecorong.[11]: 165  Western and native sources mention that Aceh had 100–120 galleys at any time (not counting the smaller fusta and galiot), spread from Daya (west coast) to Pedir (east coast). One galley captured by Portuguese in 1629 during Iskandar Muda's reign is very large, and it was reported there were total 47 of them. She reached 100 m in length and 17 m in breadth, had 3 masts with square sails and topsails, propelled by 35 oars on each side and able to carry 700 men. It is armed with 98 guns: 18 large cannon (five 55-pounders at the bow, one 25-pounder at the stern, the rest were 17 and 18-pounders), 80 falcons, and many swivel guns. The ship is called "Espanto do Mundo" (terror of the universe), which probably a free translation from Cakradonya (Cakra Dunia). The Portuguese reported that it was bigger than anything ever built in the Christian world, and that its castle could compete with that of galleons

Aceh punya, sibuk nak claim.

If you understand malay 'cerita-dongeng', you will understand most are bullsh*tx!

Jong asalnya Jawa
Ohwai

melayu dan ketum.....

sila pandang ke depan

bukan ke belakang

dont get the logic, tanah melayu was a small place, compare to all other nations, which is like few hundred times bigger, so those nations can use small ships while TM need to use big ass ship ?

How times have changed... now make small warship also kenot finish

But melayu is not trader by default

Javanese, bukan melayu pun

Melayu ego tinggi. Semua salah orang lain. X pernah salah kan diri sendiri. Even 500-600 years ago also diagung-agungkan and syok sendiri.
