Junk (the boat)

Does anyone know the kanji for a Chinese junk ? I noticed the character under a picture of one this morning and assumed it was the same, but none of the radicals were related to a ship. And to make matters worse, I'm away from home without a good dictionary.

So thanks in advance ! Anyone with clues to solving this mystery of the missing junk please post.

Could it be 戎克?
It looks like a way to write "junk" just for sound, according to Wikipedia.

It seems that the proper kanji for the junk is 帆船 or 大民船.
