Opium Lords: China 1832-42: The Turbulent Birth Of Hong Kong by Amy McGrath

Holly Shay was about to take destiny into her own hands. She would up anchor from the port where she had always lived, and cast the ship of her life adrift with the same resolution as her forebears, those old whaling captains who, for three generations past, set sail for the open sea knowing they would not return from the Pacific Ocean for at least two or three years if at all. She would abandon this dying port where the cluster of sailing ships in the reaches of the river grew thinner every year and leave America, possibly for ever.
