10. Summary of the thesis results: The thesis aims to clarify the history of maritime trade in Vietnam and the region during the 16th-18th centuries, but the approach focuses on the Hoi An - Quang Nam trading center, with the active role of the local sea transport method, the "ghe bau" (Quang Nam "ghe bau"). This work, on the one hand, answers the question of Vietnam's (specifically Quang Nam) position in the Southeast Asian maritime trade network, and on the other hand, aims to understand the shipbuilding and seafaring techniques of the Vietnamese people using traditional boats in an era of sailing trade that took place across continents.
In reality, each boat is a cultural product, a combination of many different elements (including function, technology, raw materials, environment, economics, social context, or the traditions of that society). Therefore, studying traditional boats can reveal many aspects of history, such as economic, social, and cultural issues, environmental factors, and human factors. In the context of increasing research on the history of maritime trade in Southeast Asia, this thesis also contributes to visualizing the commercial landscape in Southeast Asia by outlining the types of water transport used during this period.
11. Practical applications (if any):
The research findings of this thesis have potential applications in practical research on the history of shipbuilding technology; and the history of research on traditional boats in Vietnam.
12. Future research directions:
Following the research findings of this thesis, the author continues to research traditional boats in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, as well as the historical exchange between regions via boats.

However, the approach focuses on commercial center of Hoi An -Quang Nam, the positive role of the kind of local vessel which used to trade exchange in this time. In the one hand, this work answers the question of the position of Vietnam (specify Quang Nam - Quang Nam province) in the Southeast Asian maritime trade networks. On the other hand, it finds techniques of shipbuilding, using of traditional sailing boat in Vietnam and other areas.
It is fact that a boat is a cultural product, made by combination of many different factors (including functions purpose, technology, materials, environment, economics and social context or traditional society), therefore, studying traditional boats can also visualize various aspects of history, such as issues of economy, traditional society, cultural environment...
