In 1998, the museum organized a third dig on the General No. 1 site, the most important result of which was the discovery of copper coins marked "Qianlong Currency." This confirmed that the vessel did indeed date to sometime after the Qing Emperor Qianlong, or to about 150 years ago.
1998 年，史博館第三次試掘將軍一號，此回最重要的成果是在船上發現一枚「乾隆通寶」銅錢，足以確證將軍一號的考古年代在清乾隆以降，迄今約 150 年。
