澎湖海域有沉城 今再潛水覓遺蹟
年來下水百次發現確實地址 珊瑚籠罩長牆挖回兩塊石頭
台北訊
潛水專家謝新曦將於今天下午二時卅分率領一支四到六人的潛水隊，再度探訪「虎井沉城」遺址，並把他第一次探險所拍攝的照片公開。
謝新曦昨天詳細說明他尋獲「虎井沉城」的始末，同時澄清外界若干不確實的傳說。
謝新曦說，民國六十三年底，他從當時澎湖縣虎井村陳姓村長處，聽到「虎井沉城」的故事，當時就很感興趣，澎湖縣政府也鼓勵他從事這項探險，從此他四處蒐集資料，但由於民國六十五年後澎湖湧到大批「大唐海豚」，為了捕捉海豚，使得探訪「虎井沉城」的工作耽擱下來。
去年夏末、謝新曦和他幾位學生重新找尋「虎井沉城」，此後一年，他們輪流下水逾百次，終於在今年十月中旬，發現了確實的地點。
上月廿三日清晨五時，謝新曦和魏文宗、黃郁文、陳應中由澎湖搭船往虎井嶼，七時五十分左右在虎井嶼面對澎湖蒔里鄉方向距岸邊兩百公尺處下水，當時正值退潮，水流湍急，他們下潛約四公尺，就看到被珊瑚籠罩的一堵長牆。
此時他們興奮萬分，立刻循牆游了一圈，估計這道牆長約五十至八十公尺，上端
厚約一點五公尺，底部厚約二點五公尺，確實的高度因牆基被珊瑚圍繞無法估計，但露出的部分至少有三公尺高，牆的上端有數處缺口，像是遭到撞擊而損壞的，但因有生物攀附無法看清楚。
隨後謝新曦將人員分成兩組，由牆兩端以等邊三角形方向前進，在距牆約八十公尺處，發現一根六角型獨立石柱，斜立在珊瑚叢中，大約寬約兩人台抱，高度在一百五十公分左右，這根石柱附近卅公尺處，又看到一塊約二點五公尺見方的大石塊，上頭有明顯的「十」字痕跡，縫隙中也嵌滿海生物。
這個時候謝新曦等人的氧氣瓶即將用罄，立刻拍下牆、石柱和石塊的照片，並從牆上用潛水刀挖了兩小石塊，就浮出水面，他們在水下停留五十八分鐘，用掉一百七十單位氧氣。
謝新曦說，他們在域牆上挖出的石塊，昨天經文化大學地質系分析結果，發現是火成岩中的玄武岩，硬度在四至五度之間，這和傳說中的「虎井沉城」由紅磚所造，並不相符，此外他們並未在水中見到任何刻有文字的東西，也未掘出石碑。謝新曦說，從上次探險所看到的，他認為這就是傳說中的「虎井沈城」，但確實的真相，還須作進一步發掘，由學者專家來鑑定。
不過，謝新曦認為澎湖附近海域的確是史蹟的寶藏，他的學生昨天又有新發現，在澎湖海域找到另一座疑似建築物，附近還有一架二次世界大戰被擊落的日本零式飛機，他準備在虎井沈城的探險告一段落後，立刻展開調查。
