Al-Ula Ship Exhibit details voyage to ruins
The "Lost Treasures" exhibition at the Red Sea Museum in Jeddah tells the story of the Almlaj Shipwreck, which sank off the coast of the city in the Red Sea over two centuries ago. The displays document the discovery of the site in 2007 and the beginning of excavations in 2015, which revealed ceramic jars and Chinese porcelain pieces dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. These items illustrate the nature of the cargo and maritime trade that connected the Red Sea to Asian markets. The exhibition also shows how the remains of the ship have transformed into a home for coral reefs and marine life, blending archaeology with natural diversity.
