„Tri Sviatitielia“ – the Russian line - ship

The 120-gun line-ship was launched in 1838. Participated in 1853 November 18 In the battle of Sinop, he fired 1923 shots in four hours. The ship was hit 48 times and the stern and all masts were also damaged. November 22 the ship arrived at Sevastopol, being towed part of the way by the wheeled steam frigate "Chersones". In 1854 in April it was built at the entrance to South Bay. In 1854 September 11 during the defense of Sevastopol, "Tri Sviatitielia" was sunk at the entrance to Sevastopol Raid to block the entrance to the bay. Holes were cut in the bottom of the ship, but it sank very slowly, so the frigate "Gromonosiec" fired several shots below the waterline. According to one of the legends, the ship did not sink for a long time due to the forgotten icon on board. After the icon was taken from the ship, the "Tri Sviatitielia" sank. After the war, while cleaning the Sevastopol Bay, the ship's hull was blown up.
