This is a cauldron with round bottom without legs. The Yeongheungdo Shipwreck had a total of 12 iron pots, and 10 of them were stacked two by two. Iron pots on ships buried underwater were found in small quantities, mostly as cooking tools of sailors. However, those on the Yeongheungdo Shipwreck are estimated to be part of cargo due to their quantity and the way they were loaded.
