This black and white photograph, possibly taken in 1895 by the Ordnance Survey Office, depicts a scene from the British Expedition to Wei-hai-Wei, China, specifically, the first landing at Lungshwy Bay. The image shows a coastal scene with several ships in the distance, and a snowy, rocky shore in the foreground. The image provides a glimpse into the historical event, and offers insight into the British presence in China at the end of the 19th century.
