In 1822, an ancient ship, now known as Nanhai No. 1, measuring 22 metres in length and 10 metres in width, sank in South China Sea. It was, then, carrying more than 1,000 tons of goods: more than 1,000,000 pieces of porcelain. In 1987, it was discovered undersea, buried deep under several meters of mud and sand.
There came a time when knowing the past was of great significance to development, and it was not possible to develop without knowing the past. That meant, in this case, studying the shipwreck was necessary if we wanted to explore history of its time. But this led to worries. Surfacing it without putting divers in danger could be a big challenge, for the divers had to fight against unpredictable underwater setting. Meanwhile, how to preserve the submerged treasures also posed technical challenges.
