A curious phenomenon of the rising tide is the bore which sometimes attains a height of seven feet." This image is from the book "India illustrated: being a collection of pictures of the cities of Bombay, Calcutta and Madras, together with a selection of the most interesting buildings and scenes throughout India," published by Bennett, Coleman & Co.
