The Vung Tau shipwreck, named after the nearby town, was a wreck of a lorcha boat and was found by fishermen in 1990, after they trawled up nets full of ceramics. Dated to around 1690, the ship was determined to have been travelling from China to Batavia (modern day Jakarta, Indonesia) when it was wrecked. The recovered cargo consisted of mostly provincial productions of Kangxi blue-and-white porcelain and white-wares. These pieces, had they reached the final destination, would have been purchased by the Dutch East India Company.
