The Hsin Wah's Chaos in the Darkness (1929)

The Straits Budget on the 24th of January, 1929 reported the following: “The Hsin Wah had wireless on board, but did not carry an operator. Four steamers passed the scene of the disaster within an hour of the sinking, but owing to the pitch darkness did not observe any signs of the wreck. A police launch, a tugboat, and several junks are searching the vicinity under very difficult conditions, as a strong gale is blowing and very heavy seas are running.” Ship Name: Hsin Wah  Year Built: 1921 Tonnage: 1940 Nationality: Chinese  Ship Type: Steel Hulled Screw Steamer  Year Wrecked: 1929 Location Wrecked: Northern Point of Waglan Island  Reason For Wreck: Went of Course in Rough Seas  Lives Lost: Estimated to be around 347  Sources:  https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/pinangazette19290118-1.2.30?qt=hsinwah,%20ship&q=hsinwah%20ship https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singfreepressb19290117-1.2.26?qt=hsinwah,%20ship&q=hsinwah%20ship https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/pinangazette19290117-1.2.39?qt=hsinwah,%20ship&q=hsinwah%20ship https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singfreepressb19290118-1.2.61?qt=hsinwah,%20ship&q=hsinwah%20ship https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19290126-1.2.8?qt=shipwreck&q=shipwreck https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/maltribune19280418-1.2.60?qt=hsinwah,%20ship&q=hsinwah%20ship https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitsbudget19290124-1.2.98.24?qt=hsinwah,%20ship&q=hsinwah%20ship https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singfreepressb19290126-1.2.42?qt=hsinwah,%20ship&q=hsinwah%20ship https://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?a1PageSize=50&a1Order=Sorter_name&a1Dir=DESC&a1Page=514&ref=18378&vessel=HSIN-WAH https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singfreepressb19290201-1.2.17?qt=hsinwah,%20ship&q=hsinwah%20ship
