Hoi An, and the Shipwreck !!

Heavy damage and destruction on the beaches...and it exposed the wreck !!

"... Da Nang (VNA) - Heavy erosion caused by flooding and Typhoon Kalmaegi have exposed a shipwreck on the beach of Tan Thanh in Hoi An Tay ward, Da Nang city, just a short walk from the beach, offering a clear opportunity for salvage after a two-year delay. Initial surveys in late 2023 revealed that the ship measured roughly 15m in length and 3m in width, and was similar in shape to merchant ships used by Hoi An people in previous centuries, the centre reported. The shipwreck was found on the beach in 2023, but the rough sea and poor climate conditions have prevented any excavation work.
The centre said some ancient ceramic fragments (believed to date between the 17 and 18th centuries) were found in the area earlier, and more than 20 shipwrecks found in the East Sea had been classified as dating from the 14th to 16th centuries."Read more
