Chinese shipwreck cargo refers to valuable artefacts and goods recovered from sunken vessels, particularly from the Ming and Qing dynasties. These shipwrecks, often found along trade routes, contained items like porcelain, silk, tea, and spices, showcasing China's rich maritime trade history.
Notable discoveries, such as the 1998 Nanking shipwreck, revealed exquisite ceramics that provide insight into historical trade patterns and cultural exchange. The preservation and study of these artefacts enhance our understanding of China's influence on global commerce and art during centuries of maritime activity.
