I consider that the junks located without harbour facilities can be considered as wrecked and damaged beyond repair, other than the smaller vessels located in the Cathedral Caves and at the mouth of the creek at Le Bons Beach, Banks Peninsula. These appeared to have been abandoned and possibly burnt by the invading force. Junks sited within harbours would appear to have been trading and to have been wrecked either by an invading force or by a natural disaster.
Summary of total junks located, and their approximate dimensions
| Dimensions | Quantity |
| 150m x 50m | 1 |
| 140m x 50m | 1 |
| 100m x 50m | 13 |
| 47m x 11m | 23 |
| 37m x 15m | 1 |
| 34m x 14m | 1 |
| 28m x 11m | 1 |
| 28m x 14m | 1 |
| 22m x 6.5m | 1 |
| 20m x 7m | 1 |
| 18m x 7m | 2 |
| 16m x 8m | 2 |
| 11m x 8m | 2 |
| 20m x 19m | 1 |
| 13m x 10m | 1 |
| Sampans | 4 |
Plus 40m = 38 (a) Plus 20m = 6 (b) Less 20m = 8 (c)
| TOTAL OF | (a) = 38 junks over 40m |
| (b) = 6 junks over 20m | |
| (c) = 8 junks less than 20m, some possibly horse transports or mobile rafts | |
| GRAND TOTAL | = 44 junks over 20m |
