The Rover Incident (羅發號事件) occurred on March 12, 1867 when the American merchant ship Rover, en route from Shantou to Yingkou shipwrecked off the coast of Taiwan. The ship struck a coral reef called Qixingyan (七星岩) near Oluanpi and drifted into the area of Kenting. The American sailors were killed by Taiwanese Aborigines in revenge for earlier killings of Kaolut tribe members by foreigners. Subsequently, the U.S. military decided to send a military expedition against the tribe members responsible.
