Description
Heavy seas breaking over a barge at the shore of Anzac Cove during a wild storm on 17-18 November 1915. Several beach staff are at work in the foreground, and behind them some of the supply depot store piles have been covered with tarpaulins. Numerous Australian dugouts and shelters cover the scrubby slopes in the background. The storm caused extensive damage to the piers, drove many vessels ashore, and partially buried mule carts stationed on the beach.
