Wreck of an Egyptian Vessel of War between Constantinople and Varna, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Wreck of an Egyptian Vessel of War between Constantinople and Varna, 1854. Crimean War. The night of October 30th, the western coast of [the Black Sea] was visited by one of the most terrific tempests on record. Many dreadful shipwrecks must have taken place; but none more awful than that of two Egyptian ships of war, returning from the Crimea. [One was] a three-decker, called the Muphtahi Djehat, and had the Egyptian Admiral on board, said to be Egypt's most skilful naval commander. She [was] driven on the dangerous shoals of Euiada, midway between Constantinople and Varna. Out of 900 men composing the crew, it is painful to record that 795, including the Admiral, were lost. In the accompanying Sketch, the Muphtahi Djehat is represented on the craggy rocks of Euiada. Not a vestige of the ill-fated vessel remains to mark the spot where she perished'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
