Battle of Chinhai

The Battle of Chinhai was fought between British and Chinese forces in Chinhai (now the Zhenhai District of Ningbo), China, on 10 October 1841 during the First Opium War. The Chinese force consisted of a garrison of Manchu and Mongol Bannermen.

During the Taiping Rebellion the opium clipper Eamont ran up to the threatened city of Ningpo, passing right through the Battle of Chinhai, which was being waged not only on the banks but in the river itself.
