The Maritime Museum showcases various hauls found from sunken wrecks. The best part is it is free to visit. Over 200 ceramic and celadon wares from Fujian were recovered from around Mado Island. These artifacts from the Song and Yuan Dynasties were originally destined for Korea and Japan.











During the Goryeo Dynasty, sea trade between Korea and China was active. There were a number of shipwrecks found in the southwestern part of the country near Mokpo. The sunken Wando and Talido ships were salvaged and its artifacts are now on display.







The second gallery is all about the Sinan, which sailed from present-day Ningbo in 1323 destined for Japan. It disappeared just off the Korean coast and was found by a fisherman in 1975. Archaeological work on the shipwreck continued for the next 9 years.
