Hsin Yu

Hsin Yu

The "Hsin Yu" was a Chinese Army transport ship that served during World War I. The 1,629 ton ship had been built in 1889. On April 22, 1916, the transport, with over a thousand enlisted men and officers on board, was in a thick fog while on its way to Foo Chow. South of the Chu Sen Islands, the cruiser "Hai Yung" accidentally collided with the "Hsin Yu". A foreign engineer, 9 sailors and 20 soldiers were the only survivors. The ship sank with the loss of more than 1,000 lives. [ "Chinese Ship Sunk; 1,000 Die", "The Sun-Herald" (Lime Springs, Ia.), April 27, 1916, p6 ] . The date of the disaster has frequently (and mistakenly) been listed as "August 29, 1916" although it occurred four months earlier. [ "The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2007" ]
