Outline of Final Research Achievements

A maritime archaeological project has been conducted to clarify the detailed wrecking processes of the Spanish Galleon San Francisco and to understand the shipbuilding of the Early Manila Galleon and related objects between 2016 and 2018. During the periods, archaeological searches with remote sensing survey equipment and scientific diving searches were implemented to locate the possible remains of the San Francisco sunken off the coast of Iwawada, modern Onjuku town in Chiba Prefecture. The surveys built up a new hypothesis that there are two hazardous locations either where the San Francisco wrecked - shallow water area and off shore waters near Mashione. The historical records related to the wrecking event of the San Francisco was re-assessed and the other Manila Galleon wreck sites have been evaluated for comparative study.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

サン・フランシスコ号は、日西墨比交流・海域史にとって重要であり、マニラ・アカプルコ交易との関連で文献史学分野での研究が進んだが、沈没海域で学術調査が実施されたことは無かった。国内での沈没船遺跡の考古学研究は発展途上にあり、国外においてもスペイン船籍ガレオン船の遺物売買目的での発掘事例が多いなか、本研究はサン・フランシスコ号沈没、同船の船体構造や造船技術、関連遺物の学術的実態解明を目指した。研究期間中、フィリピン国立博物館研究者らも参加し、海洋探査機材調査・潜水調査によって、座礁・沈没の候補地点の絞り込みを行った。沈没記録精査とフィリピンのガレオン船遺跡の比較研究を行い新たな知見を得るに至った。
