The Empress
of China in the Straits of Sunda
The gateway to the Orient, July 30,
1784
After a stormy passage around the
Cape of Good Hope, the Empress of China carried the American
flag into the Indian Ocean - virgin territory for the new
country.
Here Massey chronicles her passage
into dangerous waters: rampant with piracy, low lying coral
reefs, and uncharted shoals. Behind her, the Indian Ocean;
to the north, Sumatra; to the south, Java.
In full sail on July 30, 1784, the
Empress of China makes quick passage through the Sunda Straits.
She will work her way east through the Java Sea, then turn
north past Borneo and Malaysia, and eventually enter the South
China Sea.
