In the Indian and Pacific Ocean, many types of boats were used, such as dhows (which were more maneuverable than Chinese Junk Ships because they used lateen sails), and Chinese Junk Ships.
The goods carried in silk road moved basically from the East to the West. Goods were usually transported by foot. Along the way people would use camels, horses, and yaks to get safely across. Numerous goods were bartered for others on the way, and items usually changed hands many times.
