Questions About This Episode

What is Ep. 371 Choie Sew Hoy and the Sinking of the S.S. Ventnor about?

I had the idea for this episode sometime during mid-summer 2025. Then I became distracted by the big project I'm working on now, then the holidays, sick cats, and the random hassles of life. This one's only 34 minutes long. My deepest apologies for all the mispronunciations of Maori names. This is the story of Choie Sew Hoy 徐肇开 and the times he lived in during the 19th-century Chinese immigrant scene in New Zealand. There was a lot more going on in the history of Chinese New Zealanders. This story is mostly limited to the events surrounding the Otago Gold Rush of the early 1860s. Here are a few YouTube videos about this topic: Journey To Lan Yuan Ep 7 Choie Sew Hoy Journey To Lan Yuan Ep 8 The S.S. Ventnor. The Mystery of the S.S. Ventnor. Choie Sew Hoy's descendants meet in Dunedin. Please consider supporting my efforts: Patreon: CHP Premium: Other ways to support:
