現代語訳

以上を含めて船戸以下共二十二人で、各々専門の担当がある。その中で最も敏捷な者を鴉班と名付け、正副二人がいて、檣に登って見張りをし、上下すること飛ぶが如くである。兵丁は皆船の運航に習熟しており、各船百人がこれを佐ける。一号船は千総がこれを督し、二号船は守備がこれを督する。

一号船は長さ十丈、幅二丈八尺、深さ一丈五尺《割書：前明の封舟は｜尾の虚梢を連ねて》
《割書：長さ十七丈、幅三丈一尺六寸、深さ一丈三尺三寸。嘉靖｜中、正使陳侃・副使高澄等が題請して定式とした。嘉靖三十八》
《割書：年、封舟は旧式に依って造り、虚梢を帯びた長さ一十五丈、幅二丈九尺｜七寸、深さ一丈四尺。万暦七年に造った封舟は虚稍を帯びて一十》
《割書：四丈、幅二丈九尺、深さ一丈四尺。崇禎六年、冊使杜｜三策従客胡靖の記録によれば封舟の長さ二十丈、広さ六丈。本》
《割書：朝康熙二年、張学礼の記録では梭子の如き形で長さ十八丈、幅二丈｜二尺、深さ二丈三尺。康熙二十二年、汪楫の記録では二隻の鳥》
《割書：船を選んで充用し、船の長さ一十五丈有余、幅二丈六尺。海防冊に按ずれば｜烽火営の鳥船一隻は長さ一十二丈三尺、幅二丈五尺と云う》
《割書：閩安中営の鳥船一隻は長さ一十｜二丈二尺、幅二丈六尺五寸》前後四艙、水艙四つ、水櫃四つ、水桶十二で、合わせて水七百石を受ける。

舵の長さ二丈五尺五寸、幅七尺九寸で、西洋の造法で夾板舵と名付ける。勒肚舵を用いず、鉄力木でこれを作り、塩舵と名付けて海水中に漬けるとますます堅くなる。《割書：前明の封舟の定製では鉄力木の舵三門、各門の長さ三丈五｜尺有余で大綱でこれを繫ぎ、船底から船頭に兜至り、これを勒肚と謂い、以て》
《割書：櫆藤でこれを作る。今の二封舟は皆商船を取って充用し、二号は鳥船の｜式の如く製し、勒肚二条を用いる。一号船は西洋夾板舵に係り勒肚を用いず、又》
《割書：副舵も置かない。海に出る時に閩中の有司と副舵を置くことを争ったが、本船の夥｜長林某が云うには、船舵の西洋造法は最も堅穩で副は用いなくても可、且つ舵の重さは》
《割書：万觔で船中にもこれを置く処が無いと。竟に｜副舵を置かず、前例と小異があると云う》

英語訳

Including the above, there were twenty-two men from the ship's crew downward, each with specialized duties. Among them, the most agile were called "yaiban" (crow squad), with two members - chief and deputy - who climbed the masts for lookout duty, ascending and descending like flying birds. The soldiers were all skilled in ship operations, with one hundred men assisting each vessel. The No. 1 ship was supervised by a battalion commander (qianzong), and the No. 2 ship was supervised by a garrison commander (shouwei).

The No. 1 ship was ten zhang long, two zhang eight chi wide, and one zhang five chi deep.《side note: Previous Ming investiture ships｜connected stern empty extensions》
《side note: Seventeen zhang long, three zhang one chi six cun wide, one zhang three chi three cun deep. During Jiajing｜period, Chief Envoy Chen Kan and Deputy Envoy Gao Cheng petitioned to establish this as the standard design. In Jiajing 38th》
《side note: year, investiture ships were built according to the old style, fifteen zhang long with empty stern extension, two zhang nine chi｜seven cun wide, one zhang four chi deep. The investiture ship built in Wanli 7th year had empty stern extension of fourteen》
《side note: zhang, two zhang nine chi wide, one zhang four chi deep. In Chongzhen 6th year, Investiture Envoy Du｜Sance's attendant Hu Jing recorded the investiture ship as twenty zhang long, six zhang wide. This》
《side note: dynasty's Kangxi 2nd year, Zhang Xueli recorded it as shuttle-shaped, eighteen zhang long, two zhang｜two chi wide, two zhang three chi deep. Kangxi 22nd year, Wang Ji recorded selecting two bird》
《side note: ships for use, ship length over fifteen zhang, two zhang six chi wide. According to the Maritime Defense Records｜the bird ship of Fenghuo Camp was twelve zhang three chi long, two zhang five chi wide》
《side note: The bird ship of Fujian'an Middle Camp was twelve｜zhang two chi long, two zhang six chi five cun wide》Four holds fore and aft, four water holds, four water chests, and twelve water buckets, together holding seven hundred dan of water.

The rudder was two zhang five chi five cun long and seven chi nine cun wide, made according to Western construction methods and called a "jiaban rudder" (sandwich rudder). It did not use belly-binding rudders, but was made of ironwood called "salt rudder," which became stronger when soaked in seawater.《side note: The established system for previous Ming investiture ships had three ironwood rudders, each gate over three zhang five｜chi long, bound with large cables running from the ship's bottom around to the bow, called belly-binding, made》
《side note: of rattan. Today's two investiture ships all used merchant vessels, No. 2 was constructed like a bird ship｜design using two belly-binding ropes. No. 1 ship used Western sandwich rudder without belly-binding, and》
《side note: also had no auxiliary rudder. When about to put to sea, there was dispute with Fujian officials about installing an auxiliary rudder. The ship's boatswain｜Lin said that Western rudder construction methods are most sturdy and reliable, requiring no auxiliary, moreover the rudder weighs》
《side note: ten thousand jin and there is no place in the ship to install it. Ultimately｜no auxiliary rudder was installed, slightly different from previous practice》
