Malaysia’s maritime agency says it has detained a Chinese-registered vessel on suspicion of looting two British warship wrecks in the South China Sea.
This undated photo released by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency on Monday, May 29, 2023, show scrap metal and an old cannon shell on a Chinese-registered vessel after detained by MMEA in the waters of east Johor. Malaysia's maritime agency said Monday it found a cannon shell believed to be from World War II on a Chinese-registered vessel and was investigating if the barge carrier was involved in the looting of two British warship wrecks in the South China Sea.
A total of 842 sailors perished, and the shipwrecks off the coast of central Pahang state are designated war graves. Fishermen and divers alerted authorities after spotting a foreign vessel near the area last month. The agency said officials from the National Heritage Department and others will work together to identify the cannon shell.
