A centuries-old shipwreck has re-emerged on a beach in Vietnam’s Hoi An after Typhoon Kalmaegi caused severe coastal erosion. The 57-foot wooden vessel, first discovered in 2023, is believed to date back to between the 14th and 16th centuries a period when Hoi An was a major hub for regional trade in silk, ceramics, and spices. Authorities are now seeking an emergency excavation permit to preserve what experts describe as a potentially significant archaeological find.
