Summary

Description
English: Samoan Hurricane of 15-16 March 1889

Wrecked ships in Apia Harbor, Upolu, Samoa soon after the storm. The view looks northwestward, with the shattered bow of the German gunboat Eber on the beach in the foreground. The stern of USS Trenton is at right, with the sunken USS Vandalia alongside. The German gunboat Adler is on her side in the center distance.

Trenton's starboard quarter gallery has been largely ripped away.
