via Straits Times, 21 June 2021: Follow up stories from the discoveries of shipwrecks in the eastern waters of Singapore.
The wreck site appears to hold a seemingly endless supply of ceramic shards.
But as research officer Michael Ng, 34, found out in 2017, there are also more substantial treasures to be found.
And what a precious find one of them was. The piece, a 14th century blue-and-white bottle with a flanged straight neck, bulbous body and flared foot, is believed to be the only documented example in the world.
“When I found it, it was quite encrusted, but there were specks of white and blue peering out from the bottle,” Mr Ng said.
