A total of 1,050 pieces of relics have been found at the sunken ship Xiaobaijiao-1, which dates back to Daoguang Period of Qing Dynasty (1821-1850), until July 6, 2014. The underwater archaeological work of the sunken ship was launched in 2012. Its excavated relics include blue and white porcelain wares, five-colored porcelains, purple clay teapots, jade seals and Spanish silver coins. The Xiaobaijiao-1 is an ancient merchant wooden vessel which sank nearly two centuries ago off the coast of east China's Zhejiang province.
