SS Hsin Yu was a Chinese Army transport ship that served during the Warlord Era.
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.
[1] The date of the disaster has frequently (and mistakenly) been listed as 29 August 1916 although it occurred four months earlier.
