On the 10th of October 1892, the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company’s SS Bokhara shipwrecked off the coast of the Penghu Islands. Leaving from Shanghai for Hong Kong two days before, she ran into an unforeseen typhoon, taking down 125 people on board with only 23 survivors. Discovered by local fishermen, the rescued passengers and crew were taken to the Penghu’s main town.
A message from the Fisher Island Lighthouse about victims led to a series of events resulting in the rescue of the Bokhara’s survivors, who were taken to Anping in Taiwan.
The shipwreck of the SS Bokhara and the rescue from Fisher Island Lighthouse open a window onto a vast range of aspects of 19th century life in Asia. This includes the creation of an obelisk memorial, built in Hong Kong and sent to Sand Island, commemorating the victims from the wreck.
This lecture will introduce you to archived records and old newspaper documents from the 19th century which are critical to understanding the sequence of events before and after the wreck of the SS Bokhara and the rescue from Fisher Island Lighthouse. Subject Specialist Dr Stephen Davies will help participants identify primary sources relating to the 1892 shipwreck.
Dr Stephen Davies has been in Hong Kong on and off since 1947. After serving in the British Royal Navy and Royal Marines, he taught at the University of Hong Kong (1974-1989). In 2005, Dr Davies opened and ran the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, in Stanley. In 2013, he returned to HKU, where he researches Hong Kong’s maritime past.
Date: 22 October 2019 (Tuesday)
Time: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Venue: User Education Room, CityU Library
Guest Speaker: Dr Stephen Davies (University of Hong Kong)
Moderator: Mr Ivan Yeung Wang-tung (LT, CityU)
All are welcome to join the lecture! For more information, please contact Ms Sandy Lee 3442 6582 or lbsandy@cityu.edu.hk.

Chinese calligraphy offers a channel for the appreciation of traditional East Asian culture and aesthetics education. This workshop is an initiative established by the Run Run Shaw Library and Calligraphantasy with the primary aim of exposing students to classical East Asian texts through calligraphy. In the coming four sessions, participants will not only be able to learn basic Chinese calligraphy techniques in line strokes and different script forms but will also be able to understand the meaning of selected Chinese characters from ancient East Asian Classics. Participants will also learn to locate library learning resources for rediscovery and self-development.
No experience is required. A calligrapher along with tutors have been invited to offer demonstrations and will teach participants with a hands-on learning approach. Writing materials (brush, ink and paper) will be provided during the workshops.

CityU Scholars is the University’s Integrated Research Information System where faculty members and research students maintain their public researcher profiles and update their publication lists as well as other achievement information. The public researcher profiles facing the global audience will help enhance visibility and attract collaboration opportunities. Records in the System will be used by the University for reporting (e.g. RGC reporting), performance review (e.g. annual appraisal) and benchmarking purposes. It is therefore important that our researchers learn how to manage their CityU Scholars accounts.
The Library is pleased to offer the CityU Scholars Training Workshops and Consultation Sessions at the start of the new academic year. New faculty members and research students, newly appointed Departmental Administrators for Research Information Management, or those who would like to refresh their knowledge on CityU Scholars are welcome to attend.
