Few scenes look as unsettled as a fish market sliding into the water, and this one catches the collapse at night, when the failing building is half-swallowed by the dark harbor. Waterfront markets of this kind were usually built on pilings or fill near the shore, so undermining by tides, floods, or a shifting bank could leave a heavy wooden or masonry structure unsteady with little warning. Night views like this were hard to make with early cameras, which needed long exposures or artificial light, so the picture also records a photographic challenge alongside the loss to the working waterfront.
