Pencil drawing of a tidal bore on the River
Hooghly at Howrah near Calcutta by Reginald William Warneford dated
7th November 1881. Inscribed 'Tidal `bore' coming up the River
Hoogley (frm nature) 7/11/81. Howrah (West of Calcutta) seen on the
further bank'.A tidal bore is a wave which rushes up river
estuaries at exceptionally high tides or flood tides. The wave
develops a steep forward slope as it hits the river water flowing
in the other direction. Two to three times faster than normal tidal
currents, the bore tends to be higher near the banks of the river
than in the midstream.
