The shipwreck is recognized as the largest and best-kept underwater archaeological find in China, according to Fang Shizhong, director of Shanghai Municipal Administration for Culture and Tourism.
According to Zhou Dongrong, deputy director of Shanghai Salvation Bureau, the excavation, which is the largest underwater archaeology undertaking in China since the Boat No 1 project in the South Sea in 2007, features several new technologies, including shield-driven tunnel digging.
