Quick answer

Why did the Hoang Sa flotilla of former times take men from An Vĩnh commune?

According to Phủ biên tạp lục by Lê Quý Đôn and Hoàng Việt địa dư chí by Phan Huy Chú, the Hoang Sa flotilla consisted of 70 men, drawn from An Vĩnh commune; it used 5 small fishing boats, sailed for 3 days and 3 nights, carried 6 months of provisions, and in the eighth lunar month returned to Cua Eo (Thuận An) to submit. Later men from An Hải village were added, and from the early 19th century onwards the Hoang Sa flotilla was made up mainly of men from An Vĩnh on Lý Sơn island.
