№.27 The Imogene and Andromache passing Bocca Tigris 伊莫金號和安德洛馬奇號經過虎門

On September 2, 1834, the Governor-General of the Two Guangs (Guangdong and Guangxi) issued an order to suspend Sino-British trade. The British Superintendent of Trade in China, Lancelot Dent, ordered two warships, the “Imogene” and the “Andromache,” to sail to the Pearl River Estuary as a protest to the Qing government’s actions. These two warships arrived at Humen on September 5 and engaged in artillery exchanges with the shore batteries on September 7 and 9.
