Wisconsin Maritime Museum program to highlight lost story of Chinese survivors of Titanic
MANITOWOC – On April 15, 1912, as the RMS Titanic sank in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, just more than 700 people survived. Among those survivors were six Chinese seamen: Ah Lam, Chang Chip, Cheong Foo, Fang Lang (also known as Fong Wing Sun), Lee Bing and Ling Hee. Their survival defied overwhelming odds, but their stories were quickly buried beneath prejudice and xenophobia, according to the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. Within 24 hours of reaching New York, the men were expelled from the United States under the Chinese Exclusion Act. For decades, their lives and experiences went unrecognized. That is until author and historian Steven Schwankert's years of investigation — including interviews with descendants and global archival research — led to the rediscovery of their forgotten legacy.
