The cargo was salvaged by the Vietnam Salvage Corporation and the contents subsequently sold at Christie's Amsterdam in April 1992.
The ship was an Asian trading vessel, dated to circa 1690 during the reign of the Emperor Kangxi. It had been burnt to the waterline as it was bound for Indonesia from China. Batavia (now Jakarta) was the centre of the enormous Dutch East India Company (VOC) where the consignment would have been prepared for an onward voyage to Holland.
