Chau Tan沉船可能是越南最早的沉船，于21世纪初在广义省Binh Son县海岸附近的沃茨被发现。西村博士发起了对沉船材料的研究，但由于他的突然去世而中断。一组日本学者继续与考古研究所（越南）合作开展该项目。由于沉船残骸被掠夺，其考古背景没有记录，这项初步研究仅限于对回收的物品进行比较评估，包括船体的木材和中国陶瓷。这也是一个案例研究，以解决道德问题，提高沉船遗骸在越南的商业目的，而不进行科学调查。研究表明，船材来自世纪的东南亚船只，而中国陶瓷可以归属于唐代。陶瓷碎片上的一些墨迹或题字表明印度洋商人的参与。
The Chau Tan shipwreck, probably the earliest shipwreck in Vietnam, was found in the waters off the shore of Binh Son District in Quang Ngai Province in the early 2000s. Dr. Nishimura initiated a study of the shipwreck material, but it was cut short by his sudden demise. A group of Japanese scholars continued the project in co-operation with the Institute of Archaeology (Vietnam). Since remnants of the shipwreck were pillaged and their archaeological contexts were not recorded, this initial study is limited to a comparative assessment of the recovered items, including wooden timbers from the hull and Chinese ceramics. It is also a case study for addressing the ethical issues of raising shipwreck remains in Vietnam for commercial purposes without conducting scientific surveys. The study indicates that the ship timbers came from an eighth-ninth century Southeast Asian ship, and that the Chinese ceramics can be assigned to the Tang Dynasty. A number of inked or inscribed characters on ceramic shards indicate the involvement of Indian Ocean merchants.
