The Legacy of Tek Sing
  • The "Titanic of the East" sank in 1822
  • The ship transported nearly 1600 passengers and Chinese porcelain of extreme value
  • In 1999 the sunken wreck and its treasure was finally discovered
The Tek Sing was a large Chinese ocean-going junk which sank in 1822 in the South China Sea near the Belvidere Shoals. The ship was manned by a crew of 200 and had nearly 1600 passengers. It was also laden with a large cargo of porcelain of extreme value. The great loss of life associated with the sinking has led to the Tek Sing being referred to in modern times as the "Titanic of the East". In 1999 treasure hunter Michael Hatcher discovered the wreck of the Tek Sing. His crew raised about 350,000 pieces of the ship's cargo in what is described as the largest sunken cache of Chinese porcelain ever recovered.
