Changte was a 4,324 tons steam ship built by Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company, Hong Kong in 1925 for the Australian Oriental Line. == Baby Born at Sea== ''The Argus'' (Melbourne, 11 September 1936) "Changte How Lum" After 12 years in the Australian trade, during which she has made 72 round voyages between Melbourne and Hong Kong, the Australian-Oriental liner S.S. Changte arrived at Victoria Dock yesterday after a voyage that made history for the ship. A baby boy was born aboard the vessel when it was steaming through the Banda Sea from Manila to Thursday Island. The ship's surgeon (Dr. J. S. MaCfarlan) and the stewardess. (Miss E. Farrell) were called to a cabin occupied by Mrs. William ("Munsok") How Lum, a Chinese passenger traveling from Hong Kong (via Zhongshan, Guangdong, China) to Townsville (Qld). They later reported that a baby boy had been born and that mother and child were well. The christening ceremony was performed by the commander (Captain P. Gambrill), and the many passengers who attended were delighted when the mother chose the name of the ship for her infant son. Captain Gambrill then formally entered in the ship's log-book the details or the historic incident, and presented the child with a silver christening cup and a silver spoon, both inscribed with the child's name Changte How Lum (known as Frederick How Lum). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Changte (1925)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
