After six years of underwater excavations at the site of two historic shipwrecks discovered in Singapore Territorial Waters, analysis of the vessels’ artefacts is set to shed light on the island’s long history as a maritime trading hub.

In 2015, divers involved in a maritime operation off the coast of Pedra Branca, an outlying island of Singapore, unearthed centuries-old ceramic plates. The finds led to the discovery of a c.14th-century shipwreck. It is the first ever shipwreck to be found in Singapore Territorial Waters that dates back to the times of Ancient Singapore, when the island was known as ‘Temasek’.

Singapore’s National Heritage Board (NHB) commissioned the archaeological unit of the ISEAS-Yusok Ishak Institute to survey and excavate the shipwreck.

Apart from a large cargo of Longquan green-ware and other ceramics, she carried more Chinese Yuan dynasty [1271-1368] blue-and-white porcelain than any other documented shipwreck in the world. Many of the pieces are rare, and one is believed to be unique,’ said Dr Michael Flecker, the Project Director of Maritime Archaeology Projects at ISEAS.

经过六年对新加坡领海发现的两艘历史沉船遗址的水下挖掘，对沉船文物的分析将揭示该岛作为海上贸易中心的悠久历史。

2015年，潜水员在新加坡离岛白礁海岸进行海上作业时，发现了具有数百年历史的陶瓷板。这些发现促成了一艘大约 14 世纪沉船的发现。这是在新加坡领海发现的第一艘沉船，其历史可以追溯到古新加坡时代，当时该岛被称为“淡马锡”。

新加坡国家遗产委员会 (NHB) 委托东南亚尤索克伊萨研究所 (ISEAS-Yusok Ishak Institute) 的考古单位对这艘沉船进行调查和挖掘。

除了大量龙泉绿瓷器和其他陶瓷之外，她还携带了比世界上任何其他有记录的沉船更多的中国元代[1271-1368]青花瓷器。其中许多文物都很罕见，其中一件被认为是独一无二的，元青花吉字瓶”东南亚海洋考古项目的项目总监迈克尔·弗莱克博士说。
