Obviously after a typhoon, but unfortunately neither date nor location given (also not on MMIS).

Possibly also 1906. 

Update: location and time confirmed (see comments below).

The year should be correct. I think the photo shows the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Wharf as viewed here Not sure, may be related to the aftermath of the S. S. Hankow fire.

Agree with Hong Kong Macau Ferry Wharf, the shape of the window fits. Possibly not after the fire as there are not ships visible at all.

Looking at this photo below, the original photo may be typhoon related after all.
