The Screw Steam-Ship "Prince", wrecked off Balaclava Harbour, 1854. Crimean War: severe storm wrecks up to 30 vessels including Royal Navy warships. '...the wind blowing a terrific hurricane from the southward and westward...Captain Goodall, who had been on deck from the commencement of the gale, called all hands aft, and, with Captain Baynton, R.N., Transport Agent, pulled off their coats, Captain Goodall, at the same time, saying, "Now, my lads. I've done the best I can for you; every man must try and save himself"...About 9.16 a.m. the ship touched the rocks, and, owing to the great force of wind and severe sea setting in at that time, in fifteen minutes after not a vestige of her was to be seen...I did not see Captain Baynton or Captain Goodall after the ship struck. Every person seemed very cool and collected under such awful circumstances'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
