Abstract
For centuries, Southeast Asia, with Indonesia at its core, was the epicentre of the most extraordinary expansion of global trade ever witnessed. Yet this remarkable tale of exchange along the Maritime Silk and Spice Route remains surprisingly untold.
Indonesian waters were an artery of international trade, acting as both a transit point and a destination, facilitating the exchange of ideas, religions, languages, and goods. Today, they hold the history of global maritime trade in their treacherous depths where thousands of vessels from China, India, Japan, the Gulf States, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, England, and Southeast Asia were lost at sea along with their crew and cargoes.
