Researcher of Hue history and culture Ho Tan Phan said that perhaps these are parts of three dug-out canoes because the three parts don’t fit together.

“It is highly possible that these are ancient dug-out canoes of the people before the 14th century because the collected items are very different from the boat designs of Vietnamese in the early 14th century,” Phan said.

This is the second time ancient dug-out canoes were discovered in the Huong River. The last time a dug-out canoe was fished out in the upstream of the river.

The Huong River is a landmark in the ancient capital of Hue.
