Abstract

Seonhwa Bongsa Goryeodogyeong written by Seogeung of Song nationality is the most vivid record of sailing in the West Sea of Goryeo. Seogeung who visited Goryeo on a ship sailed from Heuksando to Byeokrando using a fire signal of the islands area. Fire signal was installed in the Goryeo area, was located nearby the sea route at that time, and was marked by smoke during the day and torched at night so that the navigators could identify it 24 hours. In addition, it was installed at the top of the mountain so that the navigators could easily identify it from a distance. Goryeo fire signal is satisfied by qualification of modern aids to navigation and Visual range is checked about 29-39 miles, Luminous intensity of fire signal estimates to approximately 9,105-168,610cd. Therefore, the fire signal of Goryeo was very easy to use and was highly reliable as operated by the nation and its role in aiding navigations facility as an essential for safe navigation.

중국 송나라 서긍이 작성한 선화봉사 고려도경은 고려의 서해상을 항해한 가장 생생한 기록이다. 선박을 이용하여 고려를 방문한 서긍은 도서지역의 봉수를 이용하여 흑산도에서 벽란도까지 항해하였다. 고려가 도서지역에 설치한 봉수는 당시의 통항로에 인접한 곳에 위치하였고, 항해자가 24시간 식별할 수 있도록 낮에는 연기, 밤에는 횃불로 위치를 표시하였다. 또한 산 정상에 설치하여 항해자가 원거리에서 쉽게 식별할 수 있도록 하였다. 고려 봉수는 현대 항로표지 기본요건을 만족하며, 광달거리(시인성)는 약 29-39mile로 추정되고, 봉수의 광도는 약 9,105-168,610cd로 추정할 수 있다. 그러므로 고려의 봉수는 현대의 항로표지와 같이 항해자에게 쉽게 이용되고, 국가가 운영한 만큼 신뢰성이 높아 안전항해에 필수적인 항로표지 기능을 수행하였다.
