What sailing ship is this one? All I have is that it is a photograph taken in Balaklava harbor, 1855, photographed by Roger Fenton

I believe her to be HMS Hecla berthed at the cattle pier and as you say, at Balaklava Harbour circa 1855.

Another perspective distant view (right) view Cossack Bay, cattle and horse dock-showing penned mounts. The HMS Hecla (#3 of that name) of the Crimean War did serve in the Baltic in action in 1854; Sir William Hutcheon Hall commanding, but was a Hydra class paddle-wheel sloop 6 gun vessel. MR Quatro's pic is definitely not a paddle wheel steam sloop. There is no stack at all; so not a steam frigate either. At some point a hurricane hit, sinking 30 transports in Balaklava and the horses suffered horribly from feed shortages and logistic nightmares. The Crimean war ranks as a study in how not to supply an army. This has been an engrossing hunt for the vessel name. It's driving me nuts....I'm clueless:k_confused: http://www.old-picture.com/crimean-w...ossack-Bay.jpg

The scene depicts a harsh hard life doesn't it? I would've rather ship out and have been at sea in those old days.
I was more interested in what kind of ship she was more than the name. Three mast with what looks like 11 gun ports ... one clue is that this is now a Russian submarine base. Must have important defense capabilites, uh? |
