Kangpai Steamer Disaster Reveals Gunpowder Explosion
The Kangpai exploded from gunpowder rather than boiler blast, killing about 500 Chinese passengers and six foreigners. Of 700 soldiers aboard, only one foreigner and 200 soldiers survived after the ship sank in shallow water. Survivors endured seventeen hours on the wreck as boats could not reach them.
