 On October 23 , a tropical cyclone formed south of Cabo Corrientes . It intensified and headed roughly due north . A steamer , the <unk> , caught in the eye of this extremely intense hurricane , recording a corrected central pressure of 930 mbar ( hPa ; 27 @.@ 46 inHg ) . Even with modern tropical cyclone observation techniques available , this reading still qualifies this cyclone as one of the most intense on record . The steep pressure gradient between the <unk> and the external hurricane conditions off of Manzanillo , Colima caused several <unk> to burst . Other shipping was disrupted off the Mexican coast by the intense tropical cyclone .
