tek sing CArgo The Tek Sing or True Star was an ocean going three masted chinese junk which was bound for Jakarta from the port of Amoy (now Xiamen) china, in 1822. on board the Tek Sing was carrying porcelain, both blue and white, celadon and blanc de chine. on top of the porcelain was tea followed by silk, lacquerware, bamboo furniture, walking sticks, writing paper, indian inks, tortoiseshell, mother of pearl, boxes of incense and medicinal drugs. The Tek Sing’s cargo was aimed at the wealthy chinese community in Java who were keen to acquire chinese porcelain, silk and other luxury goods. Also on board was a human cargo of 1,600 emigrants hoping to find work on the sugar plantations of Java as well as the crew bringing the total number on board to nearly 2,000 souls. on 14th January 1822, the Tek Sing, under the command of captain io Tauko, slipped its anchorage at Amoy and headed for the sea on its journey to Java. However the ship struck some rocks on the evening of 5th February twelve miles north- north- west of gaspar island with the loss of over 1,600 lives. A passing ship, the indiana, under the command of captain Pearl, managed to rescue some 190 survivors in the face of strong winds and dangerous currents.

The wreck of the Tek Sing was discovered in April 1999 by an Australian company called ocean Salvage corporation whose crew included Michael Hatcher, made famous for his discovery of the nanking cargo. Porcelain salvaged from the wreck amounted to some 350,000 pieces of which a small selection is being offered here.
