"A historian who has spent the last quarter-century exploring China’s lakes, rivers, and seas, and plunging into the country’s rich maritime history, Schwankert and his team solved what was an enduring mystery – the identity and fate of Titanic’s six Chinese survivors.” —James Cameron from the foreword
A moving exploration of the origins and fate of the little-known Chinese passengers aboard the Titanic—and how they survived against all odds.
When RMS Titanic sank on a cold night in 1912, barely seven hundred people escaped with their lives. Among them were six Chinese men. Arriving in New York, these six were met with suspicion and slander. Fewer than twenty-four hours later, they were expelled from the country and vanished.
When historian Steven Schwankert first stumbled across the fact that eight Chinese nationals were onboard, of whom all but two survived, he couldn’t believe that there could still be untold personal histories from the Titanic.
