The USS Panay. The ship was at anchor, beside four Standard Oil tankers. The ship had large while awnings stretched over the deck, with massive American flags painted on top of the awnings, facing up. The ship was at anchor about twenty miles from where the Japanese were ravaging Shanghai. The Japanese sank the ship and then machine-gunned survivors in the water. The Japanese later apologized, claiming it was a "mistake".
