SS Bokhara ship sinking monument photo - Hong Kong cricket team - China

I am looking to sell an black and white photograph type image showing the monument that was erected after the sinking of the P&O steam ship SS Bokhara on October 8, 1892. Hong Kong’s cricket team was returning home from an annual inter-port match in Shanghai when their ship foundered in a typhoon.

Of the 148 passengers and crew on board the P&O steam ship SS Bokhara, only two team members were among the 23 survivors. The China Mail reported at the time that “the wreck seems to have been one of the most appalling that has ever taken place on the China coast”

The photo is very old and mounted onto a piece of card like paper, to the back is another photo of a man sitting on a wall outside a church.

Both images are antique and have some discoloration as shown, some light creasing / rippling from age / storage.

13cm by 10cm image size of the monument 14.4cm by 9.6cm of the church with man sitting on the wall.

This is just basically being sold as you see in the photos.
