via Medium.com, 20 Feb 2019: A shipwreck in the gulf of Thailand is identified as the Francis Garnier, part of the Messageries Fluviales de Cochinchine fleet that sailed up and down the Mekong in the turn of the 20th century. The article is in Thai. [Update, 23 Feb: there is an article in English here]

 

หลายครั้งที่เรื่องราวอันน่าทึ่งของเรือจมหลายลำในประวัติศาสตร์ ได้รับการเปิดเผยให้โลกรู้จากความบังเอิญในการค้นพบข้อมูลหรือหลักฐานเพียงแค่ชิ้นเดียว

เรื่องราวของเรือจมเกาะมันนอกก็เช่นกัน ในเดือนกันยายน พ.ศ. 2559 หลังจากได้อ่านรายงานเกี่ยวกับแหล่งเรือจมเกาะมันนอก (MN’51) ของกองโบราณคดีใต้น้ำ ผมรู้สึกสนใจที่จะศึกษาเพิ่มเติมเพราะรายงานนี้มีส่วนคล้ายกับข้อมูลที่ผมค้นคว้าไว้เมื่อหลายปีก่อนเกี่ยวกับเรือ FRANCIS GARNIER ซึ่งเป็นเรือกลไฟสัญชาติฝรั่งเศสที่อับปางในทะเลระยองเมื่อเกือบร้อยปีที่แล้ว ผมติดต่อไปยังอาจารย์เอิบเปรม วัชรางกูร ผู้อำนวยการกองโบราณคดีใต้น้ำในขณะนั้นเพื่อเล่าให้ท่านฟังถึงข้อมูลที่มีอยู่และความประสงค์ที่จะขอร่วมไปดำน้ำสำรวจ ณ หมายนั้นด้วย

    Strange that the author(s) apparently want to limit the dissemination of their work, especially as it involves a farang vessel, by not giving a translation in English.

    Not everyone writes or speaks in English as their first language. The author posted an updated article, in English as well – I’ve amended the link above
