SHANGHAI, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Yangtze No.2 Ancient Shipwreck, one of the largest and best-preserved wooden shipwrecks discovered underwater in China to date
On Monday, as a shipwreck was slowly pulled out of the water from the bottom of a riverbed where it had been laying for more than a century and a half, Chinese archaeology witnessed a new breakthrough in the field of underwater archaeology. The salvage operation took nearly three hours to remove the shipwreck along with a large caisson, a watertight chamber that had been built specially for the wreck's removal.
