KUANTAN: Staff of the Department of National Heritage are expected to descend on Pahang to find out more about what is claimed to be a British merchant vessel that had sunk in Sungai Pahang under mysterious circumstances 100 years ago.

The department is to investigate the claim by the people of Kampung Tanjung, Paloh Hinai, Pekan, located close to the vessel that has 'risen' due to the dwindling water level of Sungai Pahang due to the dry weather brought on by the El Nino phenomenon.
