The city of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Harbour

Many buildings were built on the Umegasaki landfill area on the left. The Nagasaki Custom House is also visible dockside. Western-style buildings have been built by the Shinchi sea side and an embankment is in the process of being built behind the buildings. Shin-Ohashi Bridge, constructed in 1869 at the mouth of Nakashima River before redirection work, is visible. A new western-style building is constructed on Dejima across from Tsukimachi. However, neither Mii Church built in 1876 nor the bell tower of Seikokai Theology School built in 1878 is visible. Therefore, this photo must have been taken around 1872. This is a bird's-eye view from Mt. Kazagashira of a typical view of Nagasaki around the beginning of the Meiji period.==Date:1873, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Uchida Kuichi, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)

The damage from a typhoon,Hong Kong

When a party of Frenchmen en route to observe a transit of Venus across the sun stopped at Hong Kong on September 22, 1874, the biggest typhoon in history hit Hong Kong. They sat out the typhoon on board of their ship off shore overnight hoping that the chains of the anchor would hold. The photo shows the destroyed shore protections dockside. Over 2,000 people were killed in the typhoon.==Date:unknown, Place:Hong Kong, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
