View looking down onto the dockyard, showing damage wrought by the typhoon. This print forms the right hand section of a two-part panorama of the dockyard (the remaining section is not present. See British Library OIOC Photo 337/2 (7-8) for the complete view). Pencilled note on the reverse reads: ‘During typhoon the Caisson was floated away. the workshop belonging to the Dock Coy. was damaged as shewn. The village also suffered terribly.’ -1874.
