Historical Narrative through the Messages from the Wreckage of Kaew Samud

Abstract

Kaew Samud, the previous name of Phetchaburi ship which is so called "the wreck ship Phetchaburi Bremen" is a wreck diving site showing floor tiles, toilets, washbasins, lion's legs bathtub, and others. This ship has been surveyed and excavated by the Underwater Archeology for 3 times in 1977, 1996 and in 2016, the last survey, which discovered many antiques. At the same time, an independent academic group has searched the ship's history and discovered a lot of evidence starting from the structure of the ship to the day of misery revealing the important events of the history of the ship such as carrying Chinese people from Shantou to Thailand, the big smuggle opium trafficking events in World War II and some perspectives related to the Royal family of Krom Luang Chumphon Khet Udomsak who had saved the crew on the day the ship sank. This article aims 1) to disseminate the history of the Kaew Samud ship 2) to present archaeological evidence from the previous researches 3) to establish new assumptions about the transportation duties of the ship and shipping routes. The paper fucuses on the historical value of the Kaew Samud ship as the ship sank into the sea for a long time which will easily to be decadent while the conservation of shipwreck is almost impossible in Thailand. Therefore, the study of the history of shipwrecks is another way to record the sinking history. The study reveals that. The footsteps beneath the sea were also defenselessly ambiguous due to lack of manpower and knowledge. When ships sank, many ships were destroyed over time, a history that was gathering and disappearing. Returning dates, including guidelines for the prevention of difficult prosthetic joints in the country if but managing memories for that person is necessary, supporting an alternative to tourism by opening up a new approach, "undersea cultural tourism" that will influence personal ripple at the training level. Jakeon may tell a story from the angle of the lap top feature that the story has to the wider society it will lead Develop to the secondary narratives in various forms to continue.
