The Tek Sing was one of the last of the great Chinese junks. In 1822 she set sail from China bound for Java with a precious cargo of hand crafted porcelain. Tragically she never completed her journey. In heavy seas and because of her size and weight she sank quickly. Of her estimated 2,000 passengers, only 190 survived.
Magnificent Porcelain Treasures
In 1999, after working closely with maritime historians, world-famous treasure hunter Mike Hatcher at last fulfilled his quest - the discovery of the Tek Sing and her magnificent porcelain cargo. After discovery, every item was painstakingly cleaned, declared to the appropriate authorities and then auctioned - but in large lots. This meant individual collectors simply could not buy an example of porcelain from this great wreck.
