Typhoon in Macao

View of the Macao harbor swept by a typhoon, with boats pitching and listing as wind and waves toss them about, while people on the shore try to haul them in with ropes. On the night of September 30, 1857, a typhoon struck Caste‑to‑Peak Bay on the coast of Macao, stranding ships and killing several hundred people.

The caption reads in the original French: Un typhon dans le port de Macao.
