The Singtai shipwreck lies at a depth of 53 meters, 12 nautical miles from the island of Pulau Redang off the north-eastern coast of peninsular Malaysia.  It appears to be a heavily loaded vessel approximately 22 meters in length.  The construction of the ship which includes transverse bulkheads made from soft wood (joined by square iron nails) suggests that it may have been built in China.

Sibidongpado Shipwreck is believed to have sunk in the 11^th or 12^th century, during the Goryeo Dynasty. It was excavated in 2003-2004.

The São Vincente was part of the first Portuguese attempt to reach and explore Madagascar. The ship left Lisbon on March 6^th, 1506, with 13 other merchant vessels and warships.

The shipwreck lies at a depth of 28 to 40 m, on Egypt’s eastern Red Sea coastline. Artefacts, anchors and ship’s timbers were found, with the vessel’s cargo including Chinese porcelain intended for the Middle Eastern market.

The captain and most of the crew were able to rescue some of the Company’s treasures and eventually made it to Balambangan.

The Phu Quoc Wreck is that of a Thai ship of the 14th or early 15th century. It was found by Vietnamese fishermen off the island of Phu Quoc on the west coast of Vietnam, and partially looted before it came to the attention of the Vietnam Salvage Corporation (Visal) and became an object of commercial exploitation.

The compartmentalised hull was found to be in excellent condition. Unfortunately the cargo of Thai ceramics had suffered major damage during the wrecking process and through looting.

Archaeological excavations conducted on Pemba Island have shown the significance and centrality of the location within the Swahili coastal trading system from the 7^th century AD.
