Jiangnan Shipyard was founded in 1865 by Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang as the Jiangnan Machine Manufacturing Bureau, making it one of the earliest and most consequential of the Qing dynasty's Self-Strengthening Movement enterprises. It produced China's first domestically built steam-powered warship, the Huinji, in 1868. The yard survived the fall of the Qing, two world wars, Japanese occupation, and nationalization under the People's Republic before relocating from central Shanghai to Changxing Island in 2008 to make way for the 2010 World Expo site.
