Zhongshan Warship Museum

The Zhongshan Warship Museum is located in Wuchang's Baishazhou Shipyard and is a commemorative museum. The Zhongshan Warship, or SS Zhongshan, is a famous ship named after Sun Yat-sen. After major events in China's recent history such as the Constitutional Protection Movement and the Canton Coup, the ship was bombarded and sunk by Japanese planes in the Yangtze River section of Wuhan's Jinkou on October 24, 1938. On January 28, 1997, the ship was salvaged from the water and was subsequently transported to the shipyard for repair on February 19.
