SS Hsin Yu was a Chinese Army transport ship that served during the Warlord Era. The 1,629-ton ship had been built in 1889. On 22 April 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 Chusan Islands,the cruiser Hai Yung accidentally collided with Hsin Yu. A foreign engineer,nine sailors,and 20 soldiers were the only survivors. The ship sank with the loss of more than 1,000 lives. [1] The date of the disaster has frequently (and mistakenly) been listed as 29 August 1916 although it occurred four months earlier. [2]

Hai Yung was a protected cruiser of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Hai Yung was one of a class of three ships built in Germany for the Chinese after the losses of the First Sino-Japanese War. The ship was a small protected cruiser with quick-firing guns,a departure from the prewar Chinese navy's emphasis on heavy but slow-firing weapons for its cruisers. Hai Yung resembled the British protected cruisers of the Apollo class and Italian Regioni class,and may have been modeled on the similar Dutch Gelderland-class cruisers. Germany itself would increase the number of similar ships for its own navy starting with the Gazelle class and its faster successors up until World War I.
