虎井沉城三百多年沉城之謎依舊是謎


  位於馬公內海的虎井嶼,曾是二次大戰日軍南進指揮所,偷襲珍珠港的「虎、虎、虎」代號,即是以虎井為名,除了軍事戰略地位重要之外,相傳虎井有海底沉城的傳說,也相傳三百多年,古籍上以「虎井澄淵」列澎湖八景之一,時也是重要歷史謎團。

  清道光年間就有虎井沉城的歷史記載,與澎籍進士蔡廷蘭交好的翰林院編修周凱,以虎井沉城為題作詩,隨後光緒十九年編修的澎湖廳誌,則記載「虎井嶼東南港中沉一小城,周圍可數十丈,磚石紅色、每當秋水澄鮮,漁人俯視波底,堅垣壁立,雉 隱隱可數,有善水者,沒入海底,移時或立城 上,或近城趁魚蝦之屬。言之鑿鑿,但不知何故沉沒。」

  另外,前國民黨主席連戰祖父連橫所著的台灣通史,則指出虥井沉城為「虎井嶼東南,周可數十丈,隋代所建也,漁者常得其磚,色紅若堅鐵,似千數百年物,天空浪靜,望之在目,文獻為徵,縉紳之士難言。」除了虎井沉城成謎之外,建成年代,地理位置也出現各家說法,有人援以連橫說法,指稱為隋代所建,因海嘯或地震入海,或稱為元代所建,也是因天災震入海底,另有一則指出,為當年明兵攻打荷蘭人,將紅毛城埋火葯炸之,地點則有兩處,一說在虎井嶼海岸,一說在蒔裡海岸。

  十多年來追縱虎井沉城的潛水家謝新曦,由年少追到白髮蒼蒼,希望能解開虎井沉城的歷史謎團,謝新曦心中一直抱持著理想,虎井古沉城好像柏拉圖所稱的「亞特生提斯」,消失的大陸洲,執著一步一腳印築夢,相較於謝新曦的執著,另一派地質學者則認為,虎井古沉城其實為虎井,桶盤當地柱狀玄武岩節沉海,一般漁民緛覺的訛傳,百年歷史謎團,至今仍無定論,但謝仍強調「人生有夢、築夢踏實」的理念風格。
