*''Date: [[1323]]''

The Shin'an shipwreck was a 13th century vessel discovered in the 1980s in the [[Shin'an Sea]] (just southwest of Korea) and raised from the ocean floor. The find was notable for its unusually nearly intact cargo.

The ship contained numerous [[mokkan|wooden tablets]] featuring Japanese names, including one of a ''[[kanjin hijiri]]'' working to collect funds for construction efforts at [[Tofuku-ji|Tôfuku-ji]]. The cargo also included numerous works of [[porcelain]] and [[celadon]], and roughly 28 tons of [[Song Dynasty]] coins, loaded into the keel as ballast.
