The wreckage of this ship, about 30-meters long and 9-meter wide, from the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) that sank near Yangjiang in Guangdong province was first found in 1987. But archeological investigations into one of the country's biggest ancient shipwrecks only began in 2007. Findings including 80,000 pieces of well-preserved porcelain are considered among the top relics from the Maritime Silk Road days.
