大量中国瓷器,从挪威深海打捞出水!

挪威考古人员近日在该国南部海域发现一艘18世纪的沉船,从船上打捞出大量保存完好的中国瓷器,并将其命名为“瓷器沉船”。考古人员说,北欧地区此前从未发现过可与之相媲美的沉船宝藏。

An 18th-century shipwreck carrying the best-preserved cargo of Chinese porcelain ever found in Northern Europe has been discovered in Norwegian waters, the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage said Monday.

挪威文化遗产局1日发布新闻稿说,这艘沉船是在挪威南部斯卡格拉克海峡水下约600米处发现的,其年代可追溯至18世纪中叶。经初步判断,这批瓷器源自中国,以青花瓷为主。船只始发地和目的地仍有待考证。

The wreck, known as the Porcelain Shipwreck, lies at a depth of about 600 meters in the Skagerrak Strait and is believed to have sunk in the mid-18th century. The departure and destination of the shipwreck have not been determined.

除大量瓷器外,考古人员还从沉船中打捞出吊灯、酒杯、纺织品和谷物等货物,以及装有茶叶和中草药的木箱,其中吊灯为德式或英式工艺。

According to the directorate, archaeologists have recovered large quantities of blue-and-white Chinese porcelain, along with chandelier fragments, goblets, textiles and grain. Work is still ongoing, and new finds are continuing to emerge.

沉船最初由挪威一名钟表设计师发现,此人还经营一家小型水下机器人和勘测公司。目前,挪威有关部门仍在进行勘探调查。其中一批精选文物将于6月在挪威展出。

The wreck was discovered by a Norwegian watchmaker and watch designer who also operates a small remotely operated vehicle and survey company.

A selection of the recovered objects is expected to go on display at the Norwegian Maritime Museum in Oslo in June before being sent for further analysis.

挪威气候与环境大臣安德烈亚斯·比耶兰·埃里克森表示,这一发现意义非凡,具有极高的科研价值,为研究挪威及北欧的航海历史提供了宝贵的新视角。

Norway's Minister of Climate and Environment Andreas Bjelland Eriksen said the discovery is of considerable scientific value and could provide new insights into Norway's and Northern Europe's maritime history.

挪威文化历史基金会博物馆馆长尼娜·雷夫塞斯说,这“标志着挪威考古学开启了新纪元”,北欧近海发现的沉船大多损毁严重或遭盗捞,而此次发现的沉船“如同封存极其完好的时光胶囊,给我们提供了接触过往的难得机会”。
