Probably the 1937 typhoon shown in other photos from Jim's album.
Original caption in album was "SS Tai Shan off Green Island", but see Moddsey's comments below.

Re: SS Tai Shan
The hills in the background are the Kowloon side of Lyemun Gap with Devil's Peak rising on the right. Probably taken near Tai Koo Dockyard.
Looks like the ship was the SS Hong Peng as seen

1937 SS Hong Peng
Different ships
I was initially going to say I thought they looked different, but I think Moddsey is correct.
SS Hong Peng
Thanks Moddsey, I've updated the title & description.
