Star of the Orient

The Star of the Orient was a nineteenth century sailing vessel.

After the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco, the ship was used for landfill scrap in rebuilding the city. Buried deep beneath Chinatown, it stayed partially intact, in a large cavern.

Archie Tan discovered the Star of the Orient, and built a secret passage using a chair on a rail line to its resting place from his secret storeroom.

In 1939, Blind Duck and his Tong members captured Tan, and searched his offices, looking for the Jade Sphere and the Star of the Orient. After rescuing Suzie Tan, Indiana Jones found the rail chair behind a secret door in Tan's office and reached the underground cavern housing the wrecked ship.

After finding his way aboard, Jones came face to face with some of Blind Duck's men, who hadn't found the Jade Sphere yet. Jones spied it hidden among some cannonballs near the bow of the ship, but had to fight his way through Tong goons before he could recover it.
