 All the VOC ships following (see list below) have attracted considerable interest, partly because of the treasure they carried, the remarkable stories of destruction and in some cases salvation and also the possibly that in some cases survivors may have intermingled with the Indigenous inhabitants.This is especially of interest at the wrecks of the "Vergulde Draeck" and "Zuytdorp".Other notable pre-colonial wrecks include "Correio da Azia", a Portuguese Despatch vessel bound for Macau; "Rapid" an American China Trader bound for the Indies.
