Routine dredging work uncovers sunken ship
A sunken ship containing three skulls was discovered on October 23 under the bed of the Ma River at its Lach Hoi estuary to Sam Son beach when routine dredging work led to the starting find.
“Some local residents suspect the iron ship is a navy vessel left from the American war but local authorities said this was unlikely based on the boat’s appearance and recorded information”, said head of central Thanh Hoa Province’s Border Guard Commander Hoang Minh Luyen.
Luyen added that it could be a civil transport vessel.
Local authorities are planning to fully retrieve the ship in order to solve the mystery of its origin.
