The discovery of this sunken ship gradually unraveled some mysteries for everyone.
After all, this treasure ship of more than two thousand material, not even the flagship, indicated that the main ship would only be larger.
Thus, previous speculations that the flagship Zheng He Treasure Ship might have had a displacement of ten thousand tons were quite possible.
Scholars had once reconstructed the treasure ship according to shipbuilding principles and the Chinese wooden sailing ship construction method and calculated that the largest treasure ship had a full-load displacement of about 22,848 tons, using a block coefficient of 0.43, which meant it could carry 9,824 tons.
This sunken ship undoubtedly provides significant research value for the study of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas and the Great Ming's shipbuilding craftsmanship, enabling the replication of the advanced shipbuilding technology of the time.
"Awesome!"
