The ship was surmised to be a Southeast Asian cargo boat travelling from either Vietnam or Southern China and is one of the best preserved pre-Spanish trading ships within the jurisdiction of Philippines.
The wreck yielded 4,722 artefacts including an exceptional number of very well-preserved ceramic pieces. Other items found included pearls, iron cauldrons, millstones, bronze cannons, semi-precious stones, copper coins, lamps, mirrors and weighing scales.
