Shang Hai was a major seaport on the east coast of China. Lots of merchant seamen activity in that city; bars, nightclubs, dockyard workers, and plenty of available man power (with sea-going experience). Civilian sailors "pressed into service" often found Shang Hai was the destination of their new home and job (on the ship); and Shang Hai is where some of the men were "Shang-Hai'd" to begin with.
