With Names So Obscure

Commissioned by Little Chamber Music Series That Could for the concert Sounding The Sophia, With Names So Obscure honours all twelve Chinese crew members on the ship's last voyage whose names were considered so obscure that the press did not print them. CPR acknowledged a few of these workers with compensation to their heirs, but most of them are remembered by CPR only as names in various company documents.

I encountered these names while doing research for the project and when I found them, they were neatly listed in a note of an appendix at the back of a book.
