Chinese archaeologists have found more than 180，000 relics from an ancient merchant ship from the Song Dynasty.

Found in 1987 and salvaged in 2007， the Nanhai （South China Sea） No. 1 is now preserved at the Maritime Silk Road Museum on Hailing Island of Yangjiang， south Chinas Guangdong Province. The salvage， excavation and protection of the Nanhai No. 1 form an epitome of the rapid development of Chinas underwater archaeology over the past 30 years.
