centuries' (part of the exhibition 'Maritime archaeology Malaysia' which
opened in November 2001 at Muzium Negara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). The

1700, drawing on historical sources from many countries and new
archaeological evidence. 'Malaysia at the crossroads' explains the wealth of
historic shipwrecks around the country. - ma."
