SS Shuntien (1934)
SS ''Shuntien'' was a 〔 coastal passenger and cargo liner of the British-owned The China Navigation Company Ltd (CNC). She was built in Hong Kong in 1934 and sunk by enemy action in the Mediterranean Sea with great loss of life in 1941. A Royal Navy corvette rescued most of ''Shuntien''s survivors, but a few hours later the corvette too was sunk and no-one survived.
==Peacetime service==
Taikoo Dockyard and Engineering Company in Hong Kong built ''Shuntien'' for CNC in 1934.〔〔 She replaced an earlier and smaller SS ''Shuntien'' that Scotts at Greenock on the Firth of Clyde had built in 1904 and that was scrapped in 1935.〔 The new ''Shuntien'' was a sister ship of SS ''Shengking'', which Scotts had built in 1931.〔 Both Taikoo Dockyard and CNC were owned by John Swire and Sons Ltd, which is British-owned but based in Hong Kong.
The new ''Shuntien''s engines were steam turbines built by Taikoo Dockyard.〔 She was built to trade along the coast of China, where her relatively shallow draught enabled her to turn in the Hai River at Tianjin and her icebreaker bow equipped her against sea ice in northern waters.〔
In 1937 ''Shuntien'' returned to Taikoo Dockyard for maintenance, and while she was there the Great Hong Kong Typhoon of 1937 blew her ashore.〔 She survived, was refloated and returned to service.〔
