In 1989 a Vietnamese fisherman made the chance discovery of the Vung Tau Cargo by trawling the sea-bed on the Southern Coast of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The cargo was salvaged by the state owned Vietnam Salvage Corporation in a joint-venture operation with the Singapore based Swedish diving expert, Sverker Hallstrom. The ship was an Asian trading vessel that had been burnt to the waterline and was almost certainly bound for Indonesia from China. Batavia (now Jakarta) was the centre of the enormous Dutch East India Company (VOC) where a mixed consignment would have been prepared for the homeward run to Amsterdam or elsewhere along the Netherlandish seaboard. There was little to date the wreck except a few coins of the reign of the emperor Kangxi (1662-1722) and an inkstick bearing the cyclical date corresponding to AD 1690.
The Binh Thuan shipwreck was discovered in 2001 off the coast of Binh Thuan Province, Vietnam and was carrying a supply of early 17th century blue and white Chinese ceramics originating from the Zhangzhou kilns in Fujian Province.
The Diana was a Calcutta ship licenced by the English East India Company to sail from Calcutta or Madras to Canton. The ship sank off the Straits of Malacca on 14th March 1817 on a return voyage from Canton. The wreck was identified and recovered in 1994 by Dorian Ball of Malaysian Historical Salvors.
