Description

When the Hong Moh wrecked on the rocks near Lammock Island with over a thousand passengers on board it would become a large scale tragedy that few could have predicted when the ship left Hong Kong. There would be plenty of blame to go around once the toll of the wreck was discovered, but there would also be incredible stories of great heroism as people risked their own lives to save even one more person.
