During its search for the SS Republic in 2003, Odyssey Marine Exploration located the sunken remains of an unidentified sailing vessel off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida. Without information to confirm the shipwreck's actual identity, Odyssey named the site "Blue China" due to the presence of a large quantity of blue-decorated ceramics found at the site. The "Blue China" shipwreck is likely the remains of a modest American coastal trader conducting business along the Atlantic Seaboard in the years preceding the American Civil War.
