Des épaves centenaires découvertes au large de Singapour

par AFP FR

Deux épaves vieilles de plusieurs siècles, remplies d'objets anciens, ont été retrouvées au large de Singapour. Cette découverte rare permettra de faire la lumière sur le patrimoine maritime de la cité-État. The prosperous island nation has long been a key trading hub on global shipping routes connecting the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. The first wreck, discovered after divers accidentally came across ceramic plates in 2015, was carrying Chinese ceramics that possibly date back to the 14th century, when Singapore was known as Temasek. Some of the items were similar to artefacts found in archaeological digs on land, which showed that Singapore was a trading hub well before the arrival of British colonisers in 1819.
