조선시대 제주행 ‘官海路’에서 출항포구의 변화

Abstract

This thesis is on the alteration of government owned ships’ mainly used ports to Jeju island in Joseon Dynasty. There are no changes in departing port (Naju, Samchonpo of Haenam, Guengyeongpo of Gangjin) mentioned in the geography books written in Joseon Dynasty. I cross-checked these geography books by comparing these books with other written records which states actual departing records of government owned ships to Jeju island. And by that, I found out the fact unlike the geography books, other ports were mainly used in the early years of Choseon dynasty. And there were alterations through time. In the case of Naju, the official sea route from Mokpo of Naju to Jeju was shut down in 1433, and was replaced to Yeongam Godaldo. In the case of Haenam, the Nampo of Hyunsan-myeon was mainly used in the Korea dynasty, which was replaced to Samchonpo of Hwasan-myeon in 1412, and then moved to the Kwandupo in middle 15th century, which is located in the southern part of Kwandong village. In the case of Gangjin, it seems like Gunyeongpo of Gangjin-eup was mainly used in the ealry years of Joseon Dynasty, which was replaced to Namdangpo in middle 17th century. Despite the fact that alterations actually existed, most of geography books written in Joseon Dynasty fails to state these facts and keeps using old forgotten names of these ports. Also they fail to mention the alteration of main sea route to Jeju. This seems to originated from the fact that these books referred much to 『Korea History』.
