Abstract

This article confirmed that the cultural tourism contents related to Hamel who is the author about 'Story of the wreck of the Sperwer yacht' are distorted to a large extent without historical understanding and historical evidence. And also critically reviewed the fact that this distortion is leading to continuous expanded reproduction. For this study, Hamel's contents and related previous studies were thoroughly utilized.
 As a result of the study, it was confirmed that among the historical and cultural facts related to Hamel, there were distortions in the contents known to have influenced by Hamel, such as herringbone pattern stone walls, clogs, and waterways. Therefore, I argued that a close examination of historical facts is necessary in the process of developing and researching cultural tourism contents. In particular, I think that many people may have had cultural influences from Hamel, but I made it clear that such thoughts were based on colonialism. For example, stone walls and aqueducts, stone Jangseung, and clogs have significance in themselves, even if they are not Hamel. The stone walls built throughout the village are beautiful in themselves, and the waterway in this area, which lacks agricultural water, has played a significant role in the continuation of agriculture. The ginkgo tree, which Hamel leaned on while missing his hometown, served as the g uardian deity of the villag ers, and still provides beautiful scenery and shade. Even without Hamel, byeong-yeong castle and its surrounding food contents are loved by visitors. And Hamel lived in this place for 7 years, and his 'Report of Hamel' is enough to arouse the curiosity of visitors with the clearly written text alone. It is now time to make it clear that presenting the historical facts related to Hamel as facts and presenting the contents development related to Hamel as an imaginative possibility is the first step to eliminate misunderstandings and to enable continuous development of contents related to Hamel.
