Description: Image of Yangtze shoals. This refers to the German steamer Sui Hsiang which, on its maiden voyage in 1900, struck this rock and sank within 15 minutes. Two CIM missionaries who were on board were saved by the Chinese lifeboats that were stationed here due to the frequency of accidents at this place (Davidson 1905). See all items with this value
