The
most unusual thing about this site is that it does not contain
any remains of a ship's structure. The 'wrecksite' is located
30 nautical miles north of the island of Pulau Tioman, Malaysia
and in 53 meters of water. The variety of interesting ceramics
recovered and the site description are published in Oriental
Art magazine (Vol. XLIII/2, Summer 1997).
The
ceramics recovered include Chinese blue and white porcelain
and monochrome white-glazed wares, Sawankhalok celadon and
underglaze black decorated wares, as well as Sukhotai underglaze
black decorated bowls. Six of the Chinese pieces display the
reign mark of the emperor Xuande (AD 1426 - 1435).
