Kowloon Wharves after the 1906 typhoon

When: The strong typhoon had hit Hong Kong on the 18th September, 1906. 

What: This photo, taken shortly afterwards shows a couple of the large ships that were driven ashore.

Does anyone recognise the ships? I am out of Hong Kong for the next few weeks, so I don't have access to any history books.

Where: Kowloon wharves, near today's Ocean Centre and Harbour City. These little wagons often appear in old photos of the wharves. They were used to

Any idea of the possible year/month/date of this typhoon event?

I bought this postcard from a local dealer and would like to know which typhoon it was (e.g. 1906, 1923, 1937 etc)?  Seems that quite a number of this postcard are still available in the market.

Thanks a lot!

This is an image from a negative.  I think it is the aftermath of a typhoon probably somewhere in Victoria Barracks circa 1954.
