This has been reported in zeenews.com dated 3 June 2015.
It capsized and sank in the Jianli section of the Yangtze. The company runs tours along the Three Gorges section of the Yangtze and the passengers had booked their trips through a Shanghai-based travel agency.
The captain and the chief engineer, who were among the few to be rescued, have been detained by police for questioning. Preliminary investigation has revealed that the ship was not overloaded and had enough life vests for its passengers.
Since many of the dead were elderly Chinese tourists, Premier Li Keqiang wants a transparent investigation. (Image courtesy wikimediacommons.org)
