We have finally published the revised site, and hope you enjoy it. The "Search" function at the bottom of the home page does not appear to be effective, and we are working on this.
Please let us know if we can make improvements. For example, it is difficult to judge if the photos are too light or too dark on other people's screens.
Any comments or suggestions will be welcome.

Thank you for the link to that site with amazing information on the river steamer KIANG KING. I have updated the entries in the China Merchants and China Merchants Yangtze lists, as well as the PRC Yangtze list.
Good sailing!

I believe I have found some further information on
CHINA MERCHANTS S.N. CO. (1872) 招商局輪船公司 Illustrated Fleet List of Yangtse and Ningpo Steamers only

Just found this site when looking for information on these scale model ships produced by a Japanese manufacturer - you can image the amount of translating I had to do back and forth! Made doubly hard by Wade Giles interpretations. From the instructions I knew they were constructed in Shanghai and owened by Nisshin Kisen.
I looked everywhere and by chance came across this site and found them mentioned under the Nisshin Kisen entry. Its so difficult finding old Chinese ships especially Chinese and Manchuoko naval river ships.
Anyway what a great site with wonderful photographs. It must have been hard work putting this together.

The tugboat Edith (1905-41) of Whampoa Dock was sunk on 25th July 1932 after collision with the ship Tin Yat. This was why it was rebuilt in 1935. The Hong Kong Telegraph 26-07-1932
