The Ship from Shanghai is a 1930 Pre-Code American action film directed by Charles Brabin and written by John Howard Lawson.

The film was released on January 31, 1930, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[1][2] The September 14, 1929 issue of "Loew's Weekly" claimed that it was the first all-talking picture to be made entirely at sea, "a special yacht having been outfitted with sound-absorbent material, from the captain's cabin to the keel, for this purpose. This yacht will be demolished in the climactic episode of the film."
