So much in this picture

The date is Thursday 1st March 1860 (can anyone tell the time from the shadow position of chimneys on Building F?) , all the ships and soldiers in the harbour are off to burn Beijing down to the ground because of interference in the European Opium  trade.... How many ships are there?

The Building key, corrections welcome.

I cropped this from my Basel Mission Map 1862 - http://gwulo.com/atom/17489

East Point ("Ost Spitze" in German on the map) shows four houses and adds: "Opium Handel" (german for: Opium Business) to the buildings.
