China Raises 800 Year-Old Ship

China has raised an 800 year-old sunken vessel from off the south China coast. It had first been discovered in 1987 in 65 feet of water. The whole ship was lifted to the surface in one piece.

Between 60,000 and 80,000 artifacts are aboard so the ship will give a very good impression of what was going on on China in the 1200s.
