CHINA-SHANGHAI-ANCIENT SHIPWRECK-SALVAGE (CN)
(221121) -- SHANGHAI, Nov. 21, 2022 (Xinhua) -- A worker checks the lifting of the Yangtze No. 2 Ancient Shipwreck at the salvage operation site in Shanghai, east China, Nov. 21, 2022. An ancient shipwreck, one of the largest and best-preserved wooden shipwrecks discovered underwater in China to date, was lifted out of waters in Shanghai early Monday.
The Yangtze No. 2 Ancient Shipwreck dates back to the reign of Emperor Tongzhi (1862-1875) of the Qing Dynasty. This salvage could offer a useful glimpse of shipbuilding technology during the Qing Dynasty.
A milestone in China's underwater archaeology efforts, the sunken ship was detected in 2015 during a key underwater survey. (Xinhua/Jin Liwang)
