On 3 November 1893 a steamship, {{SS|Cabo Machichaco||2}}, caught fire while she was being unloaded at a pier in the heart of the city. A crowd of 2,000 to 3,000 people watched as crew and firefighters fought the fire. About 40 tonnes of dynamite being carried in her forward holds exploded, killing about 590 people, injuring about 2,000, sinking the ship and destroying at least 65 buildings near the harbour.<ref name=Jar_Torre>{{cite magazine |last=Jar Torre |first=Luis |date=November 2009 |title=Un Desastre a la Española |magazine=Revista General de Marina |lang=es |url= https://www.grijalvo.com/Jar/Cabo_Machichaco.htm |via=páginas personales de Juan Manuel Grijalvo |access-date=14 September 2022}}</ref>
