(VOVworld) A 19th century decree to appoint a chief of the Hoang Sa (Paracel) fleet has been discovered in Tam Thanh commune, Tam Ky city, the central province of Quang Nam. The Tam Ky Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said yesterday that the document was preserved in the worshiping house of the Le family.

The decree, which was issued in 1838 by the chief of Nam Nghia province, now Quang Nam and Quang Ngai province, assigned Le Van Uoc as chief of the Quang Nam left fleet No. 1, in charge of the Hoang Sa archipelago. The Le family also kept an order issued by the chief of Ha Dong district, telling Uoc to recruit sailors for the fleet.
