10. Summary of the results of the thesis: The thesis is not beyond the purpose of clarifying the history of Vietnamese and regional maritime trade in the 16th - 18th century, but the approach focuses on the commercial center of Hoi An - Quang region, with the active role of the local maritime transport type, the ghe bau (ghe bau of Quang region). This work, on the one hand, answers the question about the position of Vietnam (specifically here, Quang region) in the Southeast Asian maritime trade network, on the other hand, aims to learn about the boat building techniques, the seafaring techniques of the Vietnamese people using traditional boats in an era of sailing trade that took place across all continents.
Reality has shown that each boat is a cultural product, a combination of many different factors (including function, technology, raw material sources, environment, economy, social context or tradition of that society), therefore, the study of traditional boats can also visualize many aspects of history such as economic, social, traditional cultural issues, environmental factors or people. In the context of studies on the history of maritime trade in Southeast Asia that have been increasingly focused on, the thesis also contributes to visualizing the picture of trade in Southeast Asia through outlining the type of water transport used during this period.
11. Practical application (if any):
The research results of the thesis can be applied in practical research on the history of ship engineering; the history of research on traditional boats in Vietnam.
12. Further research directions:
Following the research results of the thesis, the author continues to research on traditional boats in Vietnam and Southeast Asia as well as the historical exchange routes between regions through boats.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis: The purpose of this thesis is clarifying the history of maritime trade in Vietnam and the Southeast Asia from the sixteenth century to eighteenth century. 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... In the context of research on the history of Southeast Asian commerce has been increasingly focused this thesis also contributed a picture of trading in Southeast Asia with some kind of sailing boats (sailing vessels) using in the Age of commerce.
12. Practical applicability: The findings of the thesis are useful for studying history of shipbuilding and history of traditional boats in Vietnam.
13. Further research directions: Follow by the findings of the thesis I will keep going with studying traditional boats in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, as well as finding exchange route in the past with traditional boats.
