缅甸将打捞世上最大铜钟——达玛悉底大铜钟。该铜钟是汗达瓦底 王朝 达玛悉底王于1484年铸造，捐献予瑞光大金 塔。西班牙籍人颚辛欲运往西班牙作为例证展示，在杜榜河口发生沉船意外而沉入河底，已有四百多年。
Myanmar will salvage the world's largest copper bell, the Damashidi copper bell. The bronze bell was cast in 1484 by King Damasidi of the Khandawaddy Dynasty and donated to the Great Golden Pagoda of Ruiguang. Jaxin, a Spanish national, wanted to be shipped to Spain as an example. It has been more than 400 years since the wreck accident happened at the mouth of the Dupont River and sank to the bottom of the river.
日据时代，该处又发生一艘铁船沉没，经1998年8月11日勘探，查明大铜钟位于水下27英尺、地下25英尺，总共52英尺之深，上面复盖 着大铁船，必须把铁船先移开，才能进打捞 工作，已从髙桑（市）聘请潛水员及挖泥设备，预计需费1亿8千万缅币。
During the Japanese occupation period, another iron boat sank there. After exploration on August 11, 1998, it was found that the copper bell was 27 feet underwater and 25 feet underground, totally 52 feet deep. The iron boat was covered on it. The iron boat had to be removed before it could be salvaged. Divers and dredging equipment had been hired from Kusang City. It was estimated that it would cost 180 million Myanmar dollars.
