Until now.SS Jiangya sailed past Shanghai's famous Bund on a December night, hours before an explosion would claim more lives than Titanic. The cause of that explosion and loss of life remained a mystery to the present day. Through interviews with survivors and descendants, original Chinese archival research, and examination of eyewitness testimony, Jiangya: China's Titanic solves the history of the sinking, determines a final death toll, and shows the lives still touched by its loss. Finally, the full story of one of the world's worst shipwrecks can be told. |
